Calendar highlights flying art

The 2026 Aerospace Coatings calendar from Sherwin-Williams recognizes the craftsmanship of aircraft painters and scheme designers across the nation.

While most of the airplanes chosen for the calendar are business jets, there are a few general aviation aircraft represented, including a Cirrus SR22T (pictured above).

“This year’s competition was more competitive than ever, as the calendar program continues to grow with more worthy submissions than ever,” says Julie Voisin, Market Segment Manager for Aerospace, OE Automotive Interiors & Commercial Vehicle Refinish at Sherwin-Williams. “The designs chosen for 2026 represent all sizes and types of both general aviation and business aircraft, including helicopters, and were provided by paint shops from all over the country.”

The calendar cover features an Embraer Phenom 300 painted by Corrigan Air Center, in Hondo, Texas, based upon a design by Scheme Designers, in Cresskill, New Jersey.
