Corrosion Prevention
Due to the ageing general aviation fleet we strongly recommend the application of an inhibitor at the end of the painting process. Here at
Flinders
Aviation we use and recommend the Corrosion X line of product.

The above photographs are an example of corrosion in a Cessna 172 main wing spar forward attachment fitting. The integrity of the rivets have been compromised. This area actually holds your wing onto the fuselage.

This is a leading wing skin from a Cessna 172 the logbook entry would have said " corrosion was treated and removed" but notice that when the leading edge skin was removed underneath the lap joint corrosion is still quite severe and active.

The aircraft wing is on its way back after being completely disassembled, new skins manufactured, internally primed and with corrosion inhibitor applied this wing will last for many more years.
With years of experience we thoroughly inspect your aircraft to prevent the next step
failure. Here at
