Founded in the 1940s by J.P. Stevens and Company, Stevens Aerospace began as a small aviation team maintaining a corporate fleet. Their reputation for precision and service quickly spread, leading to the birth of Stevens Aviation in 1950. Over the decades, the company evolved — rebranding from Stevens Beechcraft to Stevens Aviation, and now Stevens Aerospace & Defense Systems — reflecting its expanded capabilities in aircraft maintenance, repair, and refurbishment.
Since 1866, Sherwin-Williams has been a global leader in paint and coating technologies. Their Aerospace Coatings division delivers advanced solutions for commercial, general aviation, and military aircraft. As part of the Performance Coatings Group, Sherwin-Williams serves over 120 countries, offering highly engineered finishes that meet the rigorous demands of the aerospace industry.
Together, Stevens Aerospace and Sherwin-Williams bring unmatched expertise to the skies. Stevens ensures aircraft are maintained to the highest standards, while Sherwin-Williams provides cutting-edge coatings that protect and enhance performance. This collaboration represents a commitment to quality, innovation, and long-term value for aircraft owners and operators.
One of the two projects we did was a design and paint job on a TBM Socata. For that, I had Sherwin-Williams top technical expert, Richard Giles, plus one of their chemists out here on site to make sure that the mix was going to be absolutely right.
