Ceramic, Brightwork & Paint Specialists at Pine Bluff Regional Airport, Grider Field
We are not a local detailer at PBF. Our home fields are in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas, and when an aircraft at Pine Bluff Regional Airport, Grider Field needs us, it is for one of three specialties worth traveling for: a SystemX ceramic coating, a brightwork restoration, or machine paint polishing done properly.

Every trip to Pine Bluff is planned around a project, not a route. We bring the equipment, products and crew the job at Pine Bluff Regional Airport, Grider Field calls for, do the work in one scheduled visit, and leave the aircraft with results that did not exist within driving distance of PBF before.
Ceramic coating at PBF
Ceramic is where the travel math turns obvious. One properly applied SystemX Max G+ coating at PBF replaces years of waxing and protects the paint's value on an asset worth millions, and there are very few certified aviation applicators anywhere near Pine Bluff. Our coating page covers preparation, cure and warranty.
Brightwork restoration
A brightwork restoration at Pine Bluff Regional Airport, Grider Field means stage-cut polishing through every level of oxidation and pitting, then protection so the mirror lasts. It is high-ticket work because it is high-skill work, and it travels well: the compounds, wheels and technique come with us to PBF. More on our brightwork page.
Paint correction & polishing
Most aircraft paint around Pine Bluff has never seen a trained machine polisher. Correction work at Pine Bluff Regional Airport, Grider Field, cutting oxidation, leveling swirl, restoring depth, is the precursor to every coating we install and a worthy project on its own when the finish has real age on it. See what correction involves.
Disinsection: the nationwide exception
International departures from PBF can add a requirement most crews meet late: disinsection. We perform the pre-embarkation treatment at Pine Bluff 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
The rule cuts both ways at Pine Bluff Regional Airport, Grider Field. If the request is a wash, an interior refresh or a routine detail, the answer is a friendly no, because the travel would make it a bad deal for you. If the request is one of the specialties, the answer is a scheduled date at PBF.
