It’ll Save Your Company Money
As anyone who owns and operates an aircraft knows, there are numerous ways to allocate funds. While direct operating and maintenance costs are ongoing, other cosmetic expenses are easy to defer. What should be the timing of such discretionary items and how much effort should be placed into refinishing your interior? Should you just quickly touch up the areas in need of attention or set aside some time to have them done well? If you are considering the sale or replacement of an aircraft, or just looking to freshen things up to enhance the ownership experience take some time to consider our services.
What if you did not have to worry about interior touch up every year on your high traffic items? That is where we come in. By choosing to use Power Coating or Ceramic Coating, you can make a small investment toward a high quality finish on your interior items and eliminate costly downtime from those recurring repairs.
EXPERIENCE
Jeremy: I’ve been there. I was a corporate jet mechanic for 12 years. The cabin vents are walked on and chipped. The baggage tie-down pucks are used and abused. The plating is scratched. Maintenance access panel screws are buried in paint.
WE DELIVER ON-TIME
We know what it’s like to be in a crunch. Someone makes a last minute decision and it has to be done now. We have our share of 11th hour phone calls and overnight packages. We’ve been known to complete projects in as little as 24 hours.
Our Coatings withstand the Elements
Contrary to what many believe, powder coating parts for your aircraft can actually be more economical than liquid painting. Because powder is ultimately more durable than liquid paint, the longevity of the coating makes it well worth the initial investment.
From a mechanical standpoint, powder coats offer greater degrees of strength and flexibility than spray-painted finishes. For starters, a powder finish can be applied thicker and has greater resistance to cracking and peeling. Powder finishes are also far more flexible which makes powder a better option for items that may bend or move. Check out our YouTube video showing you the durability of our powder coating here!
This flexibility makes powder the ideal option for external aviation components which are subject to constant movement and vibration. Powder coat finishes have also been shown to be more resilient in the face of wind erosion, debris or other hazards that may be encountered during takeoff and landing.
CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY
The job is NOT done until the paperwork is done. All of our aviation related products are returned with a signed Certificate of Conformity providing assurance that we have followed a strict set of process guidelines. These process guidelines are provided upon request.
WE LISTEN TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Our customers wanted a hands-on personal experience with their projects, big and small. They wanted an alternative to what they found at the big industrial powder coaters. They allowed us to see that there’s much more to powder coating than just putting color on a metal part.
“We were struggling with a labor shortage around the time Covid started. We no longer had the time to polish our Speculums. Struggling to come up with a solution, we reached out to Jeremy at Crosslinc Custom Coatings. We were sure powder coating wasn’t an option, but Jeremy came up with idea to ceramic coat our Speculums. This has absolutely worked out better than I could have possibly imagined. It cut labor cost and improved the overall look of the product. The quality and standards that Jeremy and Carissa hold themselves to is second to none. Because of this we have sent more of our product line to them to coat. ”
