Ideal for exterior painting on general aviation and helicopters that often require expedited production times, Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings presents the SKYscapes® General Aviation (GA) Basecoat 855 Series – SG, SGE, SGM and SGP Colors. It is designed to deliver the maximum in appearance and productivity by delivering a consistent and colorful solid, mica or metallic finish. SKYscapes GA Basecoat features fast dry times (approximately 60 – 90 DTT) that lead to improved productivity, an easy 6 to 1 to 2 mixing ratio, all while delivering excellent flow and leveling. After clearcoat, it provides a high gloss finish that can be easily cleaned, buffed and repaired. Aircraft owners demand on-time delivery and the SKYscapes basecoat-clearcoat system can reduce paint-process time to help meet customer demand for aircraft turnaround.

Professional aircraft painters now have the option of which Clearcoat to use with one of two SKYscapes Basecoats: the new General Aviation Clearcoat – CM0850CC1 for increased speed, or the existing SKYscapes Clearcoat – CM0850180 – for improved chemical and fluid resistance. In addition, SKYscapes CM0850CC1 clearcoat can be used over high solids opaque and metallic colors as stripes over Sherwin-Williams Jet Glo or Jet Glo Express polyester urethane topcoats on business jets. SKYscapes GA Basecoat advantages include: • Quick drying; Allows for multiple color livery applications per day • Perfect for small general aviation aircraft and helicopters requiring expedited production times • Available in a solid, mica or metallic finish • One double track coat application for most colors • No baking required; dries quickly at ambient temperatures • Apply additional colors without mechanically sanding • Excellent opacity at low film thickness • Excellent flow and leveling • Long pot life • Easy to keep clean and maintain
