When sister publication Aviation Consumer tried professionally applied ceramic coatings on several test bed aircraft a couple of years ago, the big question wasn’t if the coating provides a brilliant, slick finish, but instead would it stand the test of time? To see how it held up, we brought one of the aircraft back to an aircraft detailer for touch-ups and flew away more than satisfied with the original high investment.
Long-term Ceramic Coating: Worth The Effort, Price
Key Takeaways:
- *Aviation Consumer* conducted a long-term follow-up on professionally applied ceramic coatings on aircraft.
- The primary focus of the follow-up was to assess the coating's durability over time, rather than its initial aesthetic appeal.
- After re-evaluation and touch-ups, the ceramic coating was found to have held up well.
- The original high investment in the ceramic coating was deemed satisfactory, indicating its long-term value.
