Hi Jesse,
Sikkens was taken over by Akzo which later became Akzo-Nobel, a paint/chemicals
company based in Holland.
Which type of paint are you referring to? Sikkens used to do mainly automotive
products with the exception of some Aeropsace primers most of which have long
since been superseded by the Akzo-Nobel Aerospace finishes.
the three main product lines are : Aerodur, Aerodex and Aviox for topcoats. Aerodur
is a high gloss finish, two pack and thinners added to obtain spray viscosity.
Aerodex is a semi gloss and suitable for interior as well as exterior applications.
It's fast drying and easy for the application of colorschemes over
a base coat of Aerodur followed by a clearcoat. This has the advantage that you
can strip the coorscheme but not the base coat. Aviox is a product similar
to aerodur with the exception that is a 50/50 mix withoput thinners to obtain
spray viscosity. This was specially developed for airliners where paint crews
can do the painting during the night while engineering crews do their job during
the day. It is polyuerthane based and extremely durable. curing times can be
brought down by wetting the floor after spraying and elevating the temp to around
30C. the down side is that it is difficult to patch in for repairs without
it being visible and it is expensive, the hardener doesn't come any smaller
than 5ltrs the base comes in either 1 or 5 litres.
all three proiduct lines were specifically developed for aerospace applications
and come with the appropriate release certificates as standard. On these certs
you can find the material specs as set by Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier to name
just a few.
Hope this helps.

Does anybody know anything about Sikkens paint by a company called Akzo Nobel?
My research is telling me that it is on par or better than PPG or Imron. Anybody
have any personal knowledge?
Thanks.

Hi Jesse,
in case you want to do your own painting you can contact Akzo aerospace for training
:
trish.lewis@akzonobelaerospace.com
This is their USA contact, I don't know about cost, availbility or otherwise as
I'm not associated with Akzo, other than being a regular user of their products
for aircraft apllications.
I done their course some 15 odd years ago when I started working for the now defunct
Fokker Aircraft in the Netherlands. They used to do the course in their
factory in Sassenheim, just outside the Hague.

Larry,
I drilled mine horizontally and have no bottom skin hole. I didn't
leave an access hole from above yet. I figured if I needed to remove
the step that I'd cut one at that time.
