Long-term Ceramic Coating: Worth The Effort, Price

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • *Aviation Consumer* conducted a long-term evaluation of professionally applied ceramic coatings on aircraft.
  • The primary focus of the test was to determine the durability and longevity of the coatings over time, rather than just their initial appearance.
  • After several years and follow-up maintenance, the ceramic coatings were found to have held up well, making the initial high investment satisfactory.

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.
