Randy was hired to wrap the interior wood surfaces in this Dassault Falcon 900B in the summer of 2023.
The surfaces themselves were in good shape for their age (other than a few spots that needed smoothing with Bondo) - in fact the original clear coat finish showed almost no hazing/”milky” fade at all, but the owner of this aircraft still wanted to rejuvenate the interior with a more contemporary finish. To achieve that, they chose to use 3M Di-Noc ME-1685 metallic architectural film. The surface clear coat had remained structurally sound, so no major prep work was needed - the wrap was simply applied right over top of the existing finish.
As much of the plane interior was disassembled/removed as possible prior to Randy starting his work to help make the installation quicker and easier. The install took Randy 11 full days and 2 full 164’ rolls of material to complete.
Below is a video showing what the plane would have looked like before, and an “in-progress” video of Randy showing off some of the wrapped pieces prior to their reinstallation back into the jet.

Why Choose 3M Di-Noc?
The choice to use 3M Di-Noc architectural films is an easy one for many private jet owners. This material offers a wide variety of finishes, from wood grains to metallic textures, and can be applied to almost any surface. The films are durable and lightweight, and making them ideal for aircraft interiors.
The Process: Quick, Efficient, and Stunning
Randy meticulously documents every step of the project, capturing the entire process through photos and videos. These visuals highlight the speed and efficiency with which the interior was transformed. From start to finish, the project was completed in a matter of days, a fraction of the time it would take for a traditional interior refit.
Before and After: The blog is rich with before-and-after pictures that illustrate the dramatic change. Cabinets that once appeared worn and outdated are now sleek and modern. The walls, previously dull, now exude a fresh, contemporary vibe. Randy's expert touch ensures that every detail is flawlessly executed, leaving no room for imperfection.
The Wrapping Technique: Randy shares his technique in the accompanying videos, offering a step-by-step guide on how he applies the 3M Di-Noc film to various surfaces within the jet. He starts with the most challenging areas, such as curved surfaces, to ensure a perfect fit. His methodical approach guarantees that the film adheres smoothly, without bubbles or imperfections, showcasing the true quality of the material.
Time and Cost Efficiency
One of the most significant advantages of using 3M Di-Noc films is the time and cost efficiency. Randy charges by the day, and because the application process is so quick, the overall cost remains highly competitive compared to traditional refurbishment methods. This speed does not come at the expense of quality; instead, it allows for a high-end finish that stands the test of time.
