Desothane® HD Basecoat / Clearcoat
More than 500 aircraft are flying with PPG DESOTHANE® HD Basecoat / Clearcoat exterior paint system.
At PPG, we understand how color plays an important role in the aerospace industry. Colors connect you with your passengers, and your vibrant liveries distinguish you from another airline while promoting and representing your brand. We developed our DESOTHANE® HD/Basecoat Clearcoat exterior topcoat systems to give airlines the long lasting, high gloss, and color rich finishes airlines use to create exciting and beautiful liveries. Since introducing our Desothane HD/Basecoat Clearcoat exterior topcoat, more than 500 commercial and business aircraft have been painted using this system.
