According to Rick Hollander, vice
president, manufacturing, “We have
chosen to use the Sherwin-Williams
Aerospace SKYscapes 850 Series poly-
urethane basecoat and clearcoat paints,
which passed muster in 2012 to meet the
AMS 3095 Aerospace Material Standard
of premium exterior paint.”
“We are thrilled to be collaborating
with Sherwin-Williams’ expert team,
crafting the highest performing and aes-
thetic paints for our fleet’s specific needs.”
“We are proud to be partnering with
such a fine aircraft OEM such as Cirrus
Aircraft,” said Julie Voisin, global product
manager for Sherwin-Williams Aerospace
Coatings. “We understand the quality
and durability their superior aircraft de-
mand, and look forward to providing and
servicing them with the best aircraft fin-
ishes available.”
Cirrus Aircraft recently delivered its
6,000th new airplane. The accomplish-
ment comes just 16 years after the com-
pany delivered its first production aircraft
and on the heels of a strong 2014 per-
formance where the SR-series of aircraft
maintained its position as the best-selling
four/five-place aircraft in the world for
the 12th year in a row.
In addition, the company plans the
upcoming introduction of its Vision SF50
Personal Jet, with over 550 positions reserved, it aims to revolutionize personal
and regional business transportation. The
Vision SF50 aircraft is a revolutionary
personal jet designed to fill the significant
gap between high-performance piston
singles and light jets, and it will also be
painted with the SKYscapes system.
Meeting the highest in OEM standards
and qualifications, Sherwin-Williams
provides innovative aerospace coatings
designed to give all types of commercial,
military and general aviation aircraft
longer-lasting coverage with increased
durability. This gives aircraft more “in-
service” time allowing for longer periods
between paint jobs.
