Paint is the most visible thing an MRO does and the easiest thing to get almost right.
flyExclusive was named a winner in the 2025 Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings calendar contest for exceptional aircraft paint schemes. It was the third consecutive year of recognition, and the first time in the contest’s history that one company was recognised for two projects within the same calendar year. The winning aircraft — a Hawker 800XP and a Beechcraft 350 — were both painted at flyExclusive’s 12,000-square-foot electrostatic painting and coating facility in Kinston.
This recognition, combined with our strong order book for 2025, is a testament to the quality and precision that our MRO teams delivers every day.
Mike Guina, Chief Commercial Officer
It is truly amazing the design quality and what the painters are able to accomplish.
Julie Voisin, Market Segment Manager, Aerospace, Original Equipment Interior and Commercial Refinish, Sherwin-Williams
