035 - Cessna 182 Intensive Paint and Leather Restoration / ceramic coating

This Cessna 182rg flew in all the way from New York for an intensive paint correction. The paint had faded significantly and was actually quite thin in certain areas. A 2 step paint correction brought back the shine, before locking it in and protecting it with an ultra durable ceramic coating. As part of this process, I also set up a test area where we use a gloss meter to measure the paint improvement from dirty and oxidized , to cleaned, to rough cut, to final polish, and coating.
Then we shifted our attention to the inside, doing a quick refresh on the leather seats using the ‪@geist.leathercare‬ system. Filling some leather cracks with leather filler, then obtaining a color match with the leather color scanner.

Your video is awesome!

The black streaks off the cowling rivets is called “Fretting” basically it’s metal dust from years of vibration.

[@barrycook8116]

Amazing work as always.

[@AvianaAircraft]

Thanks again!

[@korbike1]

Nice work, good to see these planes come back to life!

Thank you so much for sharing your process and products as you renew these aircraft. It gives me more confidence to do more and keep mine in better condition. The result on this 182 was jaw dropping, I’m sure the owner was ecstatic

[@AvianaAircraft]

You can do it! Test spots are your friend!

Really brought her back to life. How did you handle the thing layers and where bare metal was exposed?

[@thetwinscapital]

Incredible this video, I congratulate you for your really impeccable work, do you have any training? How much can you charge for the ceramic coating work for a plane like that? can you do it on bigger planes? Thanks for your answer and again congratulations friend.

[@ogonzalez1041]

I’m curious about the pads you used. Can you give a better description of this blue pad and you said you used another one? Also when I see you using the pad I see you only doing the white part of the plane and you don’t touch the blue paint any reason why? Love your work

[@andycool9918]

Man you are amazing

[@AvianaAircraft]

no you are!

[@verdantacres4460]

Great results and I really enjoyed the interior leather repair and refinish.

[@johngjacobi]

Bam!

[@greasepoliceautodetailingl1413]

What were your costs in materials, and time for this project and what did you charge?

[@ricardoarzac3939]

Where can we buy the products you use !?

[@throughmyeyes9940]

what did the owner say when it was finished?

[@nldmaster]

The struggle is REAL. 14:00

[@AvianaAircraft]

keeping things honest

[@21trips]

How much $ was this service?

[@danmaggart1941]

I have some discoloration around my fuel tanks from using auto gas in my Cessna, what product and techniques would you use to take this off?

[@AvianaAircraft]

You can try what I did here

[@JAVIESWAVIE]

May I please know what ceramic coating you used

[@tateabney5557]

I’d love too know his ceramic primer polish. There’s thousands of different ceramics, but I’ve never heard of a ceramic polish. 🤔🤔 I love what he said about it, though definitely will be ordering some! This guy is the 🐐

Beautiful work man! Where are you located?

[@AvianaAircraft]

I live in Iowa, but work worldwide

@@AvianaAircraft thanks for getting back to me. Good to know, I might need your help out here in CA in 2 months. I’ll definitely request a quote when the time comes. Thanks!

what do you wash/clean your pads with?

[@AvianaAircraft]

Generally a sprits of Optimum Fabric Cleaner and no-rinse wash

Was there some corrosion on the top of the wing surface? How do you deal with that if you find it?

[@AvianaAircraft]

That is a paint shop issue. Nothing I can do about it

@@AvianaAircraft I've been trying to reach you via your email to potentially set up an appointment in Feb to paint correct my plane. What's the best way to reach you?

You guys are quick. Video looks different, 4k? Or am I just noticing?

This was actually over the course of 2 weeks! No differences to video output. I film in 1080 60fpm.
