Client and Facility Overview

Based in Texas, GDC Technics specializes in the modification of private, corporate and head of state aircraft for clients worldwide. The project focused on one of their aircraft hangars, a massive structure with concrete exterior walls and a pattern of indented seams.

Project Scope

Painters USA was tasked with painting the GDC Technics logo on a large exterior wall of the facility. The logo design, while not overly complex, involved two colors and a combination of straight lines and curved shapes.

Key Challenges

Stencil Placement Issues

A third party was initially responsible for creating and placing the stencil. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the stencil placement was substandard. It had to be repositioned to a lower part of the wall, which, combined with its large size, made it impractical to use.

Urgency of Completion

Time was of the essence. The project needed to be completed quickly due to an upcoming owner's site visit, leaving little room for error or delay. In addition, the removal of the poorly placed stencil caused minor damage to the existing paint on the wall.

Innovative Solutions

Switching to Hand-Painting

With the original stencil unusable, the Painters USA team had to think on their feet. One of our experienced team members realized that the simplicity of the design allowed for freehand painting. With guidance from the stencil company, he was able to perfectly recreate the logo, ensuring it met the client's expectations for both design accuracy and quality.

Process Overview

Surface Preparation: The wall was cleaned and prepped to ensure a smooth painting surface.
Hand-Painting the Logo: The team member used brand colors to meticulously hand-paint the two-color logo, maintaining crisp edges and vibrant colors.
Quality Control: Continuous checks ensured that every brush stroke met the high standards expected by both GDC Technics and Painters USA.

Client Satisfaction and Outcome

By overcoming the challenge of stencil placement and switching to a hand-painted solution, Painters USA delivered a high-quality result that impressed GDC Technics. The logo was completed in time for the owner's site visit and reflects the company's brand with precision and flair.
