How to repaint an entire aircraft?
Virgin Australia has hired a professional paint team with special techniques and materials to change the colors and images of their aircraft.
The time to paint an aircraft depends on its size and the complexity of the color scheme that will be used, but on average technicians can take up to nearly two weeks to paint a commercial aircraft. Most of them are painted with high pressure, low pressure spraying system to create a very thin paint.
Usually, an airplane is painted 3 layers: the lining, the base layer and the top layer. The final coating is what makes the aircraft's sleek appearance.
