PPG Aerospace Coatings Help Colorize LOT Polish Airlines 85th Anniversary Livery
WARSAW, Poland – Coatings by PPG Industries’ aerospace business helped LOT Polish Airlines (Polskie Linie Lotnicze LOT) colorize the livery of an Embraer E175 jet painted to celebrate the airline’s 85th anniversary. Working from black-and-white photographs, LOT and PPG officials created the colors for a retro design honoring a historic livery and the airline’s original logo that featured a representation of a crane in flight.
Six colors of DESOTHANE®HS/CA 8800 buffable topcoat and a DESOTHANE high-solids topcoat in semi-matte silver were applied over P99 wash primer and chromate-free PAC33CF primer.
