World's First Diamond-coated Jet on Display in Dubai

It’s the ultimate in hard—and flashy—paint finishes. Jean Boulle Luxury of Luxembourg debuted at the Dubai Airshow 2017 the world’s first diamond-coated business jet. The aircraft, a large-cabin Bombardier Global Express, is painted with aviation-grade Sun King Diamond Coating created by Jean Boulle Luxury, producing “amazing multichromatic reflections” on the aircraft, according to the company. “This is the perfect opportunity to show off the amazing impact of Sun King Diamond,” said company CEO Bertrand Boulle. The active ingredients in the coating, launched this past May with Dutch paint and specialty coating manufacturer AkzoNobel, are ethically sourced natural gem diamonds, transformed through a proprietary process that produces a finish guaranteeing brilliance within precisely defined tolerances. Sun King Diamond Coating has previously been used on supercars. A variety of color options are available for the coating.
