Aircraft maintenance provider Aerocare Aviation Services completed its first full exterior repainting of an Embraer Praetor 600 aircraft at its expanded paint facility at Hawarden Airport (EGNR) near Chester, UK. 

Aerocare had recently made significant investments in upgrading the Chester paint facility, including the widening of its doors to accept larger aircraft types, including the Embraer Legacy family and the Bombardier Challenger series. The Praetor 600 repaint was completed using an approved paint system from Akzo Nobel.

Craig Radford, Aerocare head of sales and business development, said, “We’re extremely proud to have completed our first Embraer Praetor repaint project. It produced a fantastic result, surpassing the high standards our client expects and we look forward to developing our future cooperation with them. We have a fantastic facility for all our customers looking to refresh their aircraft exteriors with a VIP finish. Based on this highly successful experience, the client has already positioned a further aircraft for a full repaint to Chester and has several projects booked in with us during the next 12 months."

With its EASA Part 145 MRO facility located adjacent to the paint hangar, Aerocare specializes in providing maintenance, repair, modifications, interior refurbishment, and exterior paint.
