To
assure control of performance deterioration, Nuvite has designed comprehensive exterior and interior appearance programs involving
Nuvite product lines based with considerations for corrosion control, fuel conservation, aircraft maintenance requirements,
flight planning and flight crew awareness as base considerations. In summary a certain amount of performance
deterioration is inevitable. However, the level of deterioration is primarily a function of the operator’s
maintenance and operational discipline and not an uncontrollable cost of owning or operating an aircraft.

Aircraft outer skins have come a long way
since banana oil was used to shrink and seal the fabric on the early wood, wire and rag flying machines. Fabric covered
aircraft have progressed through to today's aluminum skins that are multi-coated with polyurethane, high solid
finishes with many aircraft still maintaining the beauty and inspection convenience of bright aluminum skins.
Aircraft finishes are important, not
only for the attractiveness and recognizable appearance they give to the aircraft, but for the protection they afford the
lightweight, highly reactive metals of which the structure is made. When an airplane leaves the factory, it has been
given a finish that is both decorative and protective. It is the responsibility of maintenance personnel to see to it
that the chosen finish is maintained in such a way that it will keep its beauty and continues as a protection against
corrosion.
