Re: Stewart Systems covering process discussion
The Stewart Systems process is not the same as the Blue River process. There were a lot of problems with Blue River. The Stewart brothers (Dan and Doug) started out using Aircraft Finishing Systems in the early 2000's. They eventually bought the company and changed it to Stewart Systems. They have continuously updated and improved the processes. One of the most recent improvements was the paint process. The painting process is much easier to use and more durable, When they made this improvement the paint was tested by an independent lab. It passed a test by the lab that was equivalent to 7 yrs-24 hrs per day of Arizona sun. The test showed less than 1% of degradation. The oldest Stewart paint job is getting close to 20 yrs old. I have not seen this paint job but am told that it still looks "new". As far as durability i don't think there is anything to worry about.
