Canadian MRO provider Flying Colours has begun work on a long-term contract it had signed with MHI Canada Aerospace to paint the center fuselage sections of the Bombardier Global 5000/6000 at its Peterborough, Ontario facility. MHI, a Tier 1 Bombardier supplier, delivers the shrink-wrapped fuselages to Flying Colours, where they undergo a pre-paint inspection before the eight-stage paint process, which includes priming as well as applying corrosion inhibitors and fuel barriers, before the final paint applications.
