What is aircraft restoration?

• There are two types of airplanes or aircrafts
  that would need restoration. Flying and Static.
  Flying can be for recreation, commercial or for a
  show and Static would be for aircraft that
  usually sits in a hangar, building, basement,
  garage or museum. So what is restoration?
  Dictionary.com states is as, the act of
  restoring renewal, revival, or reestablishment
  a return of something to a former, original,
  normal, or unimpaired condition something that
  is restored, as by renovating a reconstruction
  or reproduction of an ancient building, extinct
  animal, or the like, showing it in its original
  state a putting back into a former position,
  dignity, etc. In this case, restoration means to
  restore an aircraft to its original condition
  when it was brought right out of the factory.
•  
• When one commonly thinks of airplane restoration,
  they think of restoring it to factory
  specifications like it was brand new. In most
  cases, after a renovation is complete, the
  airplane or aircraft is used in airshows and
  museums or in rare condition is put away and
  covered as it has value to a collector or
  organization. This is really important to
  understand because when someone comes to Vert Inc
  and asks for restoration, they could be thinking
  of just restoring the original paint job, which
  we can do easily, but restoring the entire
  aircraft to original condition from the inside
  out is not something we do, unfortunately.

• We can restore a paint job to its original
  condition because we own our own
  spectrophotometer which measures waves of light
  in which each wave has its own value or code and
  we can literally replace the original paint job
  with a brand new one that would fool any expert.
  If one was looking for full restoration, meaning
  to restore the aircrafts inside and out, that is
  not what we do but we have partners that can and
  have done it for a long time. Depending on what
  aircraft you have and where it was manufactured
  (meaning if it was design in Russia and we dont
  have the blueprints since it was the cold war era
  we could only restore based on pictures and not
  facts) we can usually find the right partners do
  get what you need done.
•  
• So we definitely established that we can only
  restore the paint job and our partners can
  restore the interior, components and instruments,
  but lets take a closer look at what a full
  restoration job could really look like. Without
  getting too involved and detailed which it is
  definitely not needed, one must consider
  everything but the paint and the detail that
  involves in such a huge undertaking. Restoration
  means working and like new. And that is what
  needs to happen with the components and
  instruments. The interior of an aircraft is
  complicated and full of intricate pieces that
  cannot be overlooked. Each part that is designed
  for the aircraft has a part to play in its
  functionality, agility and performance.

• Safety should be number one in everyones mind
  when it comes to restoration aircraft. The
  slightest change, weight or shape could affect
  the aircrafts original conception and drop its
  value or worse its performance. In example, if
  you replace a part of the gurney flap with a
  heavier piece of metal or less sturdy, you could
  kill someone because the design doesnt call for
  such a replacement. If you do not plan on flying
  the aircraft, then such measures can be performed
  but the value of the machine could diminish if
  audited by experts. Regardless, there are
  thousands of examples of restoring instruments,
  components and the like and if youre interested
  in restoring your aircraft, please consider the
  dangers that are involved.
