About Us


The Past



Since 1949 Superflite has been manufacturing and developing paint systems for fabric covered aircraft.  We started with traditional nitrate and butyrate products over Irish Linen and Grade A cotton.  New technology brought us to polyester, heat shrinkable fabric and our all-urethane system.  All of our products are FAA-approved and STC's are available for most aircraft models.  Aircraft owners and operators throughout the world have long been familiar with Superflite's fine reputation for quality products and service.

The Present

Superflite provides fabric covering and finishing materials for a large number of experimental and certificated aircraft. We continue to manufacture the traditional butyrate dope in addition to our state-of-the art urethane system.  Superflite's System VI has become extremely popular, particularly with kit builders, because of its easy application and gorgeous high-gloss finish.



The Future

As general aviation moves more toward light sport, composite, and metal aircraft, Superflite will continue its work to manufacture the best possible covering system or finish system for your aircraft.  Stay tuned for further development in the metal and composite arena.
