On-Site Paint Consultation & Inspection
Ensuring Your Aircraft’s Paint Design Is Applied With Absolute Precision
Even the most beautifully designed aircraft exterior requires expert oversight during the painting process. Paint shops vary in technique, experience, team structure, and masking methods.
Without proper guidance, even slight deviations can lead to misaligned stripes, incorrect color placement, paint imperfections, or inconsistencies between the approved design and the final result.
That’s why On-Site Paint Consultation & Inspection is one of the most important services available for aircraft owners and operators who demand perfection.
At Flight Lines Design, we act as your dedicated design representative during the painting process—ensuring the paint shop executes the scheme exactly as intended, maintaining accuracy from initial layout to final delivery.
Why Paint Shop Drawings Are Critical
Aircraft painting is a technical, multi-stage process.
Without proper oversight, issues can arise such as:
• Incorrect stripe alignment
• Unexpected spacing deviations
• Mismatched or inaccurate colors
• Overspray or paint runs
• Uneven masking
• Poor preparation or priming
• Orange peel texture
• Inconsistent finish quality
• Misinterpreted design drawings
Because aircraft painting is expensive and time-consuming, mistakes can be costly to correct.
On-site oversight protects your investment, avoids rework, and ensures flawless execution.
What We Do During On-Site Paint Consultation
Verify Line Layout & Masking Accuracy
We ensure the shop follows the exact measurements and spacing provided in the design drawings.
Correcting layout early prevents major visual issues later.
Confirm Color Accuracy
Colors can shift based on lighting, paint mixing, and shop environment.
We compare actual sprayed samples to approved swatches to ensure a perfect match.
Review Paint Sequencing
Some colors must be applied before others, especially with metallics or multi-layer designs.
We confirm proper sequencing to avoid unnecessary sanding or rework.
Inspect Surface Preparation
Before paint ever touches the aircraft, the surface must be properly prepped.
We verify masking cleanliness, sanding quality, and primer consistency.
Approve Major Milestones
At key checkpoints—masking, first coat, mid-coat, detail layers—we review progress and provide direction.
