Airbus Paint Protection by Permagard
Protecting the exterior of an aircraft isn’t just about maintaining its appearance. It’s also about safeguarding it as an investment, minimizing maintenance downtime, and ensuring long-term optimal performance. For over two decades, Airbus has trusted Permagard to deliver the highest standard in aircraft paint protection.
From the ACJ319 to the ACJ320 corporate jets, Permagard provides an OEM-approved, aviation-grade paint protection solution that preserves all aircraft paintwork and composites, reduces cleaning costs, and maintains asset value in some of the harshest operating environments in the world.
Over 20 Years of Airbus Paint Protection
Permagard has been protecting Airbus aircraft for more than 20 years. That’s much longer than most of our competitors have even been on the market. And unlike their repurposed car care products, Permagard was developed specifically for the aviation industry.
Permagard also holds full formal OEM approvals from the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world, including Airbus. Airbus operators, MROs, and FBOs worldwide recognize Permagard as the highest standard in aircraft paint protection, ensuring confidence that it is fully compatible with all Airbus surfaces and finishes.
What Makes Permagard Different?
Permagard’s continued success in the aviation industry comes from our unique proprietary formulas that have been unrivaled for over 27 years. Unlike traditional waxes or temporary ceramic sprays that sit on top of paint, Permagard chemically bonds to the aircraft’s painted surfaces to create a highly flexible and durable sacrificial layer that also produces rich, deep gloss to create the signature Permagard “wet-look effect” for the ultimate shine.
The Permagard Aviation coating provides incredible benefits for Airbus aircraft, including:
UV Protection
Durably protects against color fading and oxidation from high-altitude UV radiation exposure.
Environmental Resistance
Defends against salt-laden air, acid rain, industrial pollution, and harsh chemical contaminants.
Repellent Properties
Hydraulic fluids, insect impacts, grease, and dirt have difficulty adhering to Permagard-treated surfaces, making cleaning easier.
Durable Flexibility
Designed to expand and contract with aircraft skins and composites, ensuring no cracking, peeling, or loss of protection during usage.
The result is a supremely glossy, showroom-like finish that doesn’t just look fantastic, but also actively protects the aircraft’s paintwork from degradation.
The Benefits for Airbus Operators
Operators across commercial airlines, private aviation, and government fleets report tangible, measurable benefits from using Permagard Aviation on Airbus aircraft:
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Dirt and grime do not bond easily to a Permagard-treated surface. Many operators report a significant reduction in cleaning times, which translates into lower labor costs and less downtime between flights.
Extended Paint Life
By preventing oxidation, fading, and early paint degradation, Permagard completely prevents against costly repaint cycles, provided the Permagard-treated aircraft is maintained through the Permagard Maintenance Program. For large Airbus aircraft, extending paint life by even a few years represents considerable savings and eliminating a paint event can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over the aircraft’s lifetime.
Enhanced Appearance
Airlines and private jet owners alike understand the value of presentation. A glossy, deep-color finish reinforces professionalism, luxury, and brand identity. Permagard provides just that by enhancing paint color contrasts and overall vibrancy. For corporate and VIP Airbus aircraft, this visual impression is especially critical.
Protection in Harsh Environments
From desert bases with extreme UV exposure to coastal hubs with high salt content, Permagard was engineered to thrive in the harshest environments in the world. This is why special mission and government Airbus fleets, which are often deployed in unforgiving conditions, regularly rely on Permagard protection.
Why Airbus Operators Choose Permagard
When Airbus operators evaluate paint protection, the choice comes down to performance, longevity, and reliability. With over 20 years of real-world proven results, full OEM approvals across multiple aircraft manufacturers, and measurable benefits that add true value, Permagard continues to set the aircraft paint protection standard in the aviation industry.

Airbus and Permagard: A Storied History
The Airbus name is synonymous with engineering excellence, and Permagard has been aligned with that standard for nearly three decades. With our formal Airbus OEM approval, this means that operators can apply Permagard with confidence, knowing that the Permagard coating has been rigorously tested and validated for compatibility with Airbus paints, materials, and MRO procedures.
This is why Permagard is not an automotive-grade product available off the shelf or to anyone who wishes to buy it. Permagard Aviation can only be purchased and applied by trained and certified aviation professionals, ensuring a consistent, high-quality finish every time. Our commitment to the highest possible application standards ensures that every Airbus aircraft receives the same level of world-class protection, no matter where it operates.
Handmade Quality, ISO 9001 Certified
Permagard isn’t just an OEM-approved product and service. Permagard is also an ISO 9001-certified company. This means that we adhere to the strict ISO 9001 Quality Management standards that have been set by our quality management system to produce handmade, high-quality, aviation-grade products with zero defects that are always punctually delivered. ISO 9001 also allows us to have full traceability for every Permagard product batch that is manufactured, meaning every Permagard product batch is tested before being made available to the customer. We also keep product samples of each Permagard batch manufactured in our Permagard Headquarters laboratory in Miami, Florida. Not only is this important to Permagard’s brand values, but it also means you are receiving the highest-quality product in the aviation paint protection industry, manufactured in the USA exclusively with American-made raw materials and American products that are 100% traceable.
Protecting Airbus Aircraft with Permagard
Airbus aircraft represent some of the most advanced aviation technology in the world. Therefore, protecting their painted surfaces requires an equally advanced solution. Permagard’s aviation-grade, OEM-approved, proprietary formulas have been the choice of Airbus operators for over 20 years, delivering unmatched performance in preservation, cost reduction, and long-term value.
Whether operating a fleet of A320s, the remarkable A350 XWB, or a VIP ACJ, Airbus operators who choose Permagard are making an investment that pays back dividends in reduced maintenance costs, better brand presentation, and preserved asset value.
