Gulfstream opens paint-shop for in-service aircraft
Gulfstream Savannah
Gulfstream Aerospace has opened a paint facility in Savannah specifically for in-service aircraft.
The new paint-shop will welcome its first aircraft by mid-September.
“Demand for new Gulfstream aircraft is strong and so is the demand for enhancing aircraft already in service.”
Joe Rivera, vice president and general manager at the Gulfstream Savannah service centre said: “Demand for new Gulfstream aircraft is strong and so is the demand for enhancing aircraft already in service. This facility gives customers a dedicated space for our Product Support organisation to tackle their paint requests — from full strip-and-paint jobs to custom livery and logo applications. Its close proximity to the Savannah Service Center makes it an ideal location for customers who need maintenance and/or refurbishment work to go along with painting an individual part, multiple parts or an entire aircraft. The end result will be reduced downtimes.”

The air-conditioned and heated hangar space is divided into a crossdraft bay for stripping, sanding and priming and a downdraft bay for painting. All Gulfstream aircraft models can be accommodated.
