Why Planes Are Repainted So Often | Art Insider

[@HalfWarrior]

As a former billboard painter and vehicle wrapper; this is really cool.

[@madamm2766]

4:01 klm painted the planes orange, which is the national colour of the country, the flag is red white blue

[@reith100]

actual the dutch flag used to be orange white and blue. Which was originally called the "Prince's Flag". Orange was part of the Dutch flag even before it became it's national color.

[@tzshchsjsjxijyo]

the start was very satisfying

[@gman0637]

[@Ferreira0504]

At least he didn't say seven seventy-seven

[@XLRSAv]

@@Ferreira0504 that’s the worst!!

Interesting

[@HesJustSteven]

So how did airlines like AA manage to maintain their bare aluminum fuselage for so long?

[@edwink1467]

Profit above all else?

[@sketchyAnalogies]

It wasn't bare. You just cover it with a clear protective lacquer. It looks bare. If it was truly bare it would oxide and wouldn't look shiny

[@SentinelSays]

@@sketchyAnalogiesExactly. To be exact, 3 heavy coats of clear, which had to be put on within a VERY short timeframe after the manufacturer green protective coat was removed, or they would start to oxidise with a day or so. Wife’s family run the operations of an airplane paint business, plenty of experience to share. Coincidentally, the planes they have the most discomfort working on are / certain Middle Eastern airline with a grey livery, because the particular grey they specify to use has basically no opacity and as such, is a nightmare to apply without being able to see the material underneath.

[@geldtas216]

PPG paint is the best paint in the world

[@JuaniPodrido]

Just cause the Dutch national team wears orange doesn't mean the flag is orange. Fail

[@vonEitzen]

Constantly calls out a 737 in stats but show an Airbus instead.

[@Mountainlions69]

As an aircraft painter I'll tell you every aircraft is stripped of it coatings every five years to allow for a "C check" a corrosion check.

[@benjaminevans2839]

There is no orange on the Dutch flag 🤦‍♂️

[@maxenceleboeuf]

Ah yes, the seven seven seven.

[@davestevens4193]

I'll save you the four and a half minutes going 600 miles an hour is hard on a paint job

[@Tech265]

"Repaint a boeing 737" proceeds to show an A320 being repainted😅

[@ronwade2206]

Southwest Airlines needs to repaint all its planes in STOP SIGN RED!
