Full Exterior Repaint of Embraer Legacy 650 G-SUGR
Airbourne Colours has successfully completed the full exterior repaint of Embraer Legacy 650 G-SUGR at its aircraft paint facility at Exeter Airport.
The Legacy 650 is a highly regarded business jet, and refinishing an aircraft of this calibre requires meticulous preparation, extensive surface treatment and expert paint application to achieve a flawless finish. From the initial masking and preparation work through to the final paint application and detailing, Airbourne Colours’ experienced Exeter-based team worked to ensure the aircraft was returned to service in pristine condition.
The project was completed in partnership with Inflite The Jet Centre, with Airbourne Colours providing a comprehensive repaint solution tailored to the exact requirements of the aircraft operator.
