Paint correction brings dull, oxidized or swirled paint back to a gloss. We decontaminate the paint, compound out the oxidation and polish out minor swirls. Then we protect it with a coating: wax or ceramic.

Paint correction is decontamination of the paint, compounding to remove oxidation, and polishing to remove minor swirls. We then protect the corrected paint with a coating of wax or ceramic.
We come to your airport and do the work where your airplane is kept.
Paint decontamination, a one-step polish, wax and ceramic coatings can each be booked on their own, or together.
Only need one step? See our individual services. Only need it clean? See the aircraft dry wash.
What correction and coating can do
Choosing the finish, what correction can't fix, and why it's worth doing.
The coatings we offer are wax and ceramic. Either one protects the paint, and after a correction it protects the finish we've just brought back.
Tell us how you fly the airplane and where it's kept when you request a quote, and we'll suggest one.
Paint correction works on the surface of the paint. Compounding takes off the oxidized layer, and polishing takes out minor swirls.
It won't fix chips, cracks, or paint that's peeling or failing. Those need paint work, and a coating on top won't hide them. If we see that on your aircraft, we'll tell you before we start.
Sun and weather oxidize paint over time, and oxidized paint keeps getting duller. Correcting it and then protecting it keeps the finish looking good for longer.
It's also part of looking after the airplane. A well-kept aircraft gets better fuel economy and lasts longer.
Paint correction is the work before the coating. These are the four steps, in order.
We clean the paint and take off the contamination that a wash leaves behind, so nothing gets ground in when we polish.
Compounding removes the dull, oxidized layer on top of the paint.
Polishing takes out minor swirls and brings the gloss back.
We protect the corrected paint with the finish you chose.
How long and how much
Both depend on the airplane and the state of its paint.
Request a QuoteHow long it takes depends on the size of the aircraft, how oxidized the paint is, and whether you choose wax or ceramic. Ask when you request a quote.
What we need from you is access to the aircraft for the whole job. See the airports we serve.
We quote each job for your aircraft. The price depends on:
Yes. A ceramic coating goes on painted aircraft surfaces. Coating over oxidized or swirled paint would seal those faults in, so if the paint needs it, it's worth correcting before it's coated.
It depends on the coating, how the airplane is kept and how often it flies. Ask us when you request a quote and we'll tell you what to expect for yours.
Ask us about aftercare when we finish the job. For regular cleaning in between, see our aircraft dry wash.
Send us the make and model and the airport. If you can, text a few photos of the paint to (307) 241-5484. We'll come back with a quote.
