Ceramic, Brightwork & Paint Specialists at Fletcher Field
Owners at Fletcher Field do not need another wash crew, and we do not travel to Clarksdale to be one. What brings us to CKM is the work that is hard to find done right anywhere: show-quality paint correction, mirror brightwork, and ceramic protection measured in years.
CKM is a specialty-only field for us. No cleanings. No routine details.
We travel here for
- ✓ SystemX ceramic coating
- ✓ Brightwork restoration
- ✓ Paint correction & polishing
- ✓ Aircraft disinsection (nationwide)
- ✓ Fleet-scale specialty programs
We do not travel here for
- ✗ Interior details
- ✗ Cabin cleaning
- ✗ Wash-only visits
- ✗ Routine or one-off details
- ✗ Quick turnarounds
That focus is the whole point. A crew that drives to CKM for a quick cleaning cannot do it well at a fair value, so we do not offer it. A crew that arrives for a multi-day coating or a full brightwork restoration can deliver the best work in the region, so that is what we bring to Clarksdale.
Ceramic coating at CKM
If there is one project worth flying a crew to CKM for, it is this one. SystemX Max G+ is a Boeing-approved ceramic system, and we are certified to install it, which puts show-level, decade-long paint protection within reach of Clarksdale without repositioning the aircraft. Details on the ceramic coating page.
Brightwork restoration
We take on serious brightwork at Fletcher Field: pitted leading edges brought back to a mirror, exhaust stacks and inlets cut and buffed, full polished-aluminum aircraft restored panel by panel. Small touch-ups do not justify the trip to Clarksdale; a restoration does. The brightwork page has examples.
Paint correction & polishing
We bring full machine correction to CKM: compounds matched to aviation paint systems, measured passes, and a finish checked under inspection light rather than sunlight optimism. On its own it suits a substantial project at Fletcher Field; combined with ceramic it locks the result in. Our polishing page covers both paths.
Disinsection: the nationwide exception
International departures from CKM can add a requirement most crews meet late: disinsection. We perform the pre-embarkation treatment at Clarksdale on the empty aircraft, before boarding, with the paperwork handled, because that service goes anywhere in the US as a matter of course. The disinsection page has the details.
What we don’t do here, and why
And the other side of the line, stated plainly so nobody drives to CKM disappointed: we do not travel to Clarksdale for interior details, cabin cleaning, lav service or wash-only visits. Those are everyday services at our home-region fields, and a local crew is the right call for them here.
About working at Fletcher Field
Fletcher Field is a smaller field, and that suits the work: specialty projects in Clarksdale run best where the ramp is calm and the hangar is yours for the duration. The 5,404-ft runway puts CKM within reach of most business jets, which means the aircraft never has to reposition for the work. Our closest every-day field to Clarksdale is Searcy Municipal (SRC), where the full menu runs daily. At CKM the difference is scope, never standard: same crew, same products, specialty work only.
The next step for an owner at Fletcher Field is one message: aircraft type, the project in mind, rough timing. We will confirm scope for CKM, schedule the visit and arrive with everything the job needs.
