Permagard® is a global provider of advanced surface protection systems that has been providing aerospace paint protection for nearly three decades. Its Aerospace Paint Protection System is designed for aircraft painted surfaces, helping owners and operators preserve appearance, protect their investment, and simplify ongoing exterior maintenance.
Used across general aviation, business jets, and large-cabin aircraft, the system is recognized and recommended in aviation, including by leading aircraft manufacturers.
Permagard is a specialized aircraft surface-protection process comprising three connected stages:
- Surface preparation: Assess paint condition and prepare the aircraft using the appropriate approved procedures.
- Initial Application: Apply the thin protective layer to properly prepared aircraft surfaces.
- Scheduled Service Treatments: Refresh and maintain the protected finish through periodic follow-up service.
Developed with aviation operating requirements in mind, Permagard is used in OEM, MRO, flight department, and aircraft detailing environments worldwide. The approximately 4-micron protective layer is designed to work with aircraft paint and approved composite surfaces without adversely affecting heat-management or static-dissipation requirements. It helps preserve paint thickness, allowing the paint to fulfill its primary role of protecting the substrate.
- Permargard helps protect painted surfaces against environmental contamination and everyday exposure.
- Keeping current with Permagard applications maintains surface clarity and a deep, high-gloss finish.
- You'll notice that routine exterior cleaning and upkeep is much easier.
- Permargard helps preserve paint thickness by reducing reliance on repeated aggressive correction and polishing.
- Prime Appearance can assist you in achieving long-term appearance retention through a structured maintenance program that incorporates annual Permagard applications.
The program is a long-term maintenance approach rather than a one-time application. It starts with an Initial Application and continues with Service Treatments generally scheduled every 11–13 months.
These treatments clean, refresh, and maintain the existing protective layer, supporting surface clarity, gloss, and protection over time.
With proper maintenance, the program is designed to support a paint-protection cycle of up to five years.
Prime Appearance, the largest independent aircraft appearance company, is a certified Permagard applicator. Our Permagard applications are performed exclusively by technicians who have completed Permagard's proprietary training and certification program.
