This year’s training will focus on the brand’s latest basecoat/clearcoat exterior aerospace paint system, SKYscapes and SKYscapes GA (General Aviation) and its special effects system, SKYscapes Shimmer Basecoat.

Our goal is to have every participant leave with inspiration and ideas to help them create the best paint jobs possible back at their own shops, on every plane, every time,” said Julie Voisin, Sherwin-Williams global product manager for Aerospace Coatings. “Through these training sessions, new technicians can become better acquainted with our products and the best aerospace coatings application techniques, while seasoned professionals can take time to refine their skills in an actual shop setting”
