Protecting that High-Shine Painted Finish

How much are you appreciating that brilliant, sparkling painted finish? Whether newly painted or freshly cleaned, little satisfies like a shiny fuselage. In fact, for many it’s so appealing that the next logical step is to put a protective coating on it. And here’s where it gets heady.

There are lots of fine coating applications available to the aviation market. Generally, ceramic-based formulas and film wrap coatings offer very good protection, while amplifying paint pigment and gloss. These types of coatings can be pricey as they must be skillfully applied and will require follow up maintenance to meet longevity claims. Wilder claims like preventing scratching and rock chips, as well as self-cleaning, definitely raise more than an eyebrow.

NUVITE has another option. NUGLAZE® Paint Sealant & Polish. Not technically a coating, but a chemical sealant that checks many of the same boxes. NUGLAZE’s liquid, micro-molecular formula bonds with the paint, filling in pinholes, pores, and light scratches. The surface is effectively sealed, locking out corrosion-causing moisture, fighting oxidation, repelling bugs, stains, and soil, reflecting deep color, and extending that brilliant, high gloss, shine. Application is easy and can be done anywhere; apply NUGLAZE to a newly painted or oxidized surface prepped with NUPOWER II or NUPOL. Just Apply, Dry, & Buff to a high gloss shine. Reapplication approximately every six to eight months is recommended, depending on flight hours and surrounding environment.. READ MORE
