“We’re typically flying surgical teams around the clock. They want to see an airplane that not just looks nice, but presents the image of something that’s well kept and shows professionalism. The trust we have in Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings is very high. We choose Sherwin-Williams Aerospace products because they’re very good at what they do, and what they supply; and that’s very important to us.”
