Sabreliner Aviation’s aircraft completions center in Perryville, Mo., recently finished its 45th paint refurbishment of a Pilatus PC-12. The milestone aircraft was handed over by the Innova Aerospace (Booth 2282) subsidiary to its Australia-based owner early last month.

Because of its experienced aircraft paint team, Sabreliner is able to offer a four-year paint warranty, which is significantly longer than the standard one-year warranty offered by most other aircraft paint facilities. Further, the company can design and paint both traditional and more exotic color schemes, as well as accommodate business aircraft up to the size of a Dassault Falcon 7X, it said. The cost of painting an aircraft varies with the size of the aircraft and the complexity of the paint scheme, Sabreliner noted.

Meanwhile, Sabreliner’s Perryville facility completed its eighth paint and interior renovation of a Gulfstream G200 last month, with a ninth one now undergoing the same process. The G200 was completed in a forward club-four configuration with an aft divan, forward galley and aft lavatory, all in a neutral color palette. It was delivered to its U.S.-based customer in early October.

According to Sabreliner, its designers can create interior designs and color schemes and design elements per a customer’s “spirit and style.” Clients can choose from a “comprehensive” selection of colors and advise artists on producing personalized logos.
