Every kit built
to the airframe.
Wheel Masking Kits, Brake Masking Kits, and specialty tooling — each engineered to the tolerances in the OEM overhaul manual, not adapted from a generic template.
Wheel Masking Kits
Reusable masks engineered per wheel assembly. Screw or snap into place, hold through prime and paint, remove clean — no adhesive residue, no trimming, no razor blade near your techs’ hands.
A basic wheel that takes 40 minutes to mask by hand with tape and a razor blade takes under two minutes with a Blackbird kit — and the same kit gets reused thousands of cycles instead of thrown away after one.
Brake Masking Kits
Purpose-built for brake housings and assemblies — protects critical surfaces during recoat while cutting cycle time to a fraction of manual taping.
Same reusable-mask approach applied to the geometry of a brake assembly — hub, barrel, and bearing areas stay protected without the improvisation that manual taping requires on a more complex shape.
Orbs & Other Specialty Tooling
Beyond wheel and brake masks, Blackbird builds Orbs — snap-in nameplates that protect bearings in transit and put your company’s mark on every wheel that leaves the shop — along with custom-engineered tooling for masking, protection, and handling challenges specific to your overhaul line.
Orbs ship with your logo, phone number, and website — a low-cost way to keep your brand visible on every wheel you overhaul. Need something more specific? Blackbird also builds custom tooling for masking, protection, and handling challenges unique to your line.
