I really love KLM's paint scheme, definitely one of the best in the world just for its cool simplicity and blueness. Hopefully they never change it! KLM-blue should be the national color of the Netherlands

I love the Korean Air, KLM blue, it looks incredible with the blue sky

Great looking blue mix on the KLM planes :)

Your planes are just amazing!!

Finally a video on youtube where we see how a KLM aircraft is painted! Nice - Geweldig!!!

Mainly for the airborne particles in that get suspended in the air during the repaint process. Same reason they say wear a face mask when you sand wood. I'm fairly certain wood is environmentally friendly. Also the bunnysuits are to help the workers stay cleaner and prevent contamination of the paint from hair, body oils and skin from getting into the paint next to the body of the a/c. Which could lead to corrosion or premature failure of the paint. :) Hope that helps.

This video made me remember my childhood

What was wrong with how it looked in the beginning?! :P

Every 4 years a commercial airplane receives a new top coat and gel coat, one to prevent localized corrosion and two to keep it economical in the air, they remove the gel coat and T/C, inspect for cathodic disembodiment around design defects and joints, key the original intermediate coat and then re-apply the new system to the clients spec. TBF its not normally the system itself that is the main cause for re-application, its the possibility of dirt, oil, grease, chloride salts and forging contaminants that get impregnated in the coating system whilst in service. This can cause OH- (hydroxylene) to form on the substraight causing coating failure (AKA cathodic disbondment, resulting in delamination). This is why even tho the painting system looks okay to you and I on the clip, it still requires a new maintenance system to be applied. Hope this helps.

I always wondered how they do to keep a perfect symmetry between sides when painting the aircraft livery.

Best paint was AmericanAirlines befor 2011. The aluminium look was great! And if you have asked a captain from AA, what kind of polish he uses for the great shine of his aircraft, he answers: "Speed only Sir!" :-)

Fantastic Presentation....

Forget the advancement in paint , I am impressed with the drop down platforms . Painting off scaffolding is a pain . Assembly then move them disassembling.

Great Reportage!

Less paint is a huge plus . What most people dont realize to paint something of this size and color scheme, takes 100 to 130 gallons of material, 900 to 1400 pounds of materials, which is why they chemically strip before refinishing.

Love your video 👍✈️

@8justin88 It's a paste chemical that helps to clean off any left over bits of the old paint of. Extra paint means extra weight and extra fuel. Increasing costs. So they apply the yellow coat to cut down on extra paint and extra weight, in turn decreasing operating costs.

@sonnylatchstring are the letters saying 'cargo' not big enough?

I hope the chromate-free primer works for them. Other airlines have tried it and within 3 years, the "show coat" started peeling off.

Just remember KLM when using 747's it's best to wait till you have permission to takeoff!

At least in 1977 I think they learnt their lesson

How is it with the clearcoat? Does it now really help to remain at a certain gloss and not to fade as normal laquer would do? (op zijn nederlands: Uni lak heeft de neiging mat te worden en kleur te verliezen, is het nu merkbaar beter beschermd? Daarnaast heeft KLM nooit aan gedacht om een product zoals FLON4000 te gebruiken om frictie met de lucht te verminderen en daardoor nog lager energie verbruik te creeeren?)

Everything is much improved since the 70s. For one all aircraft have TCAS (traffic collision/avoidance system) so he would see the plane on the little radar and know it was there - they turn it on when entering the runway

@nightfox Pipe down! They paint all aircraft types with this electrostatic spraying equipment. KLM is not just a freight company, in fact it is the oldest passengers carrier in the world still operating under its original name.

Does anyone know if passengers' baggages are transfered from a KLM-flight to a KLM-cityhopper flight? Or the opposite? In addition, does KLM-cityhopper has the same baggage policy as KLM?

did they repaint it to make it lighter so then can carry more cargo?

What is the purpose of clear coat?

Does anyone know the name of the first song being played in this video?

How come the nose cone was not stripped of paint

IDK but it looks awesome at 1:36 when its all silver :)

What kind of paint was used? Mankiewicz?

why Klm Pont Du Gard didn't come with the delft blue to quito or other countries ?

i wonder if you can make a paper model of the plane

I like the music as well.. but will u please help me to find the link? Because i can't find the song as given in the description.

No ,they use it also for passenger transport. But the 747 is in use because of it's space inside, this plane is bigger than any other airplane (exept the A380)

and Pont Du Gard (PH - BQP) have 2 igual airplanes ??

Patrick it is made from composite, paint removers may affect the hardener liquid resulting in it falling apart, and sanding may damage the fibers resulting in the cone losing its strength

Very interesting to see something like that!

but you lineup with TCAS on, and you cross runway with transponder on, so in the KLM incident you refer to, they would now both be able to see eachother.

@sonnylatchstring is more when it comes to the 744 passenger version, as there is more plane to paint thanks to the longer hump. They already restrict your allowed checked in baggage, and charge you more for going over that limit, you have to think about the entire picture not just the paint. There are reasons behind it, it basically all boils down to money, how much can they save per flight.

My favorite plane is the KLM

@8justin88 Probably not.. U should know how mutch it costs to paint such plane. And not only that, u have to count workhours of employees to..

OMG What a SHINE :O

zinc chromate = corrosion resistance......did'nt see aladine applied to the aircraft either...what gives?

what a purty plane

@sonnylatchstring I get your point, but think about it from the company's perspective..the save 1 or 2 days in doing it this way, which means lots of $!

Just because something is environmentally friendly, doesn't mean that it may be good for our skin.. though you make a very good point!

TCAS only works if both transponders are on... You don't taxi with it on.

I wonder how much that paint weights...

On a 747 livery the paint can weigh anything up to 500 kilograms or up to - 1000/1100 pounds . There is a tolerance involved so you are looking at a ball park figure hope this helps.
