PAINT CORRECTION + CERAMIC PROTECTION
Preserve the Paint Your Fleet Depends On
Fleet paint takes a beating long before the wear becomes obvious. Alpine helps preserve the finish with professional ceramic protection for vehicles that work every day.
HOW IT WORKS
A Protective Layer Over the Existing Finish
Ceramic coating bonds to prepared paint, adding a durable protective layer over the finish already there. The preparation beneath it is matched to the paint type and its current condition.
Illustrative layer view. Clear-coated and single-stage fleet paint systems vary.
BONDED CERAMIC PROTECTION
Cures into a durable protective layer bonded to properly prepared paint.
EASIER ROUTINE CARE
Helps road film, bugs, and grime release more readily during washing.
HELPS PRESERVE THE FINISH
Supports gloss and color retention by reducing direct contact with common contaminants and daily weathering.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT APPROACH
Correct What Can Be Improved. Protect What Remains.
Ceramic coating preserves the finish that is already there. Every recommendation begins with the paint’s current condition, not a one-size-fits-all package. Alpine corrects recoverable paint where appropriate and applies our state-of-the-art ceramic coating only after the surface is properly prepared.
The System Behind
the Service
SystemX began in Connecticut with coating technology developed for demanding aerospace environments. Alpine selected MAX G+ as its current featured ceramic system for its proven resin platform, high-gloss finish, chemical resistance, and durability. We pair that technology with careful paint evaluation, condition-based correction, and precise preparation for working fleets.
SGS LABORATORY TESTING
No visible damage reported in the specified alkali and salt-solution exposures.
BOEING BSS7432 TESTING
Conformed to the four evaluated aircraft-maintenance-material tests.
MADE IN USA
SystemX ceramic coatings are made in Plainville, Connecticut.
Published reports identify the evaluated coating as SystemX MAX Ceramic Nano Coating. References describe the testing performed and do not represent Boeing or SGS endorsement of Alpine.
THE LAB RESULTS
The Evidence Goes Beyond Gloss
SystemX publishes standardized testing that examines how its coating technology bonds, flexes, handles controlled chemical exposure, and responds to accelerated weathering.
ASTM D3359 evaluates whether a cured coating remains attached to a prepared surface. SystemX reports a 5B result with no coating loss.
ASTM D3359
ASTM D522 and ASTM D2794 examine response to controlled bending and impact. The results indicate coating resilience, but do not make the underlying paint chip-proof or dent-proof.
ASTM D522 + ASTM D2794
JIS K5400 testing uses defined acid, alkali, and salt-solution exposures. SystemX reports no visible damage under the stated test conditions.
JIS K5400
ASTM G154 uses accelerated exposure to evaluate weathering and color change. SystemX reports no color change in its published result.

Coming Soon to Alpine
SystemX Phantom
Alpine is preparing to bring SystemX Phantom to working fleets, and it represents a true next step in ceramic protection. Its breakthrough 2K technology creates a dramatically stronger cross-linked matrix for improved durability, chemical resistance, and gloss retention over time. We are now finalizing the application standards for launch, while MAX G+ remains Alpine’s featured ceramic system and is available today.
FROM EVALUATION TO RETURN TO SERVICE
A Clear Process, Matched to the Finish
Once the scope is confirmed, Alpine performs the work at your facility, matching preparation to the condition of each vehicle and planning cure and return-to-service timing around the fleet.
Mobile at your facility · Scope confirmed before work begins · Return-to-service timing provided
ASSESS & DEFINE THE SCOPE
Inspect the paint, identify correctable areas and coating failure, and confirm the panels, preparation level, and operating window.
PREPARE & IMPROVE
Wash and decontaminate the vehicle, correct suitable paint to the agreed level, and complete final surface preparation.
COAT, CURE & HAND OFF
Apply SystemX MAX G+ ceramic protection, manage the cure window, confirm return-to-service timing, and provide clear care guidance for the team.
CARE & EXPECTATIONS
Less Work. Still Needs Care.
CONSISTENT WASHING
Maintain a regular wash schedule to prevent buildup and help the coating perform as intended.
COATING-SAFE CARE
Use compatible products and avoid overly aggressive chemicals, tools, or washing methods.
PROMPT REMOVAL
Remove bugs, droppings, sap, and mineral deposits before they can stain or etch the finish.
Q&A
What Fleet Managers Ask Before Coating
No. Ceramic coating adds a thin protective layer over the finish already on the vehicle. It does not rebuild missing clear coat or repair paint that has already failed.
Yes. Ceramic protection can be applied to many clear-coated and single-stage finishes when the paint is intact and properly prepared. Alpine evaluates the paint system and its condition before recommending coating.
Performance depends on paint condition, preparation, vehicle use, washing methods, environmental exposure, and ongoing care. Alpine sets expectations for each fleet based on the vehicles and agreed service scope.
Yes. Alpine coordinates work around routes, shifts, and vehicle availability, and confirms cure and return-to-service timing before work begins.
