Translucent Pearl/Mica Pigments Achieve Special Effect Colors for Aircraft SKY scapes® Shimmer Basecoat is the latest innovative offering from Sherwin- Williams Aerospace Coatings. Adding a new dimension to effect coatings, SKYscapes Shimmer Basecoat will convert any solid basecoat into an aesthetically pleasing effect fi nish without losing the clean vibrancy of the color itself. It is a cost-effi cient, production-friendly solution for all commercial and general aviation aircraft. SKYscapes Shimmer Basecoat 850 Series (SH colors) uses translucent pearl/ mica pigments to create a fully repairable, durable "shimmer" fi nish over the entire plane design without sacrifi cing true, vibrant color. Aircraft owners love a custom look, but when on-time delivery is critical, every moment counts. Easy to mix with excellent leveling, SKYscapes Shimmer Basecoat is designed to dry quickly at ambient temperatures, without requiring any sanding between coats. "Matching customer micas is time consuming, and has traditionally been an unavoidable stall in the maintenance process," said Julie Voisin, Sherwin- Williams Aerospace Coatings global marketing manager.
