In all honesty I am not sure but I do know they had to develop a special type as due to the high speed normal paint would have been "stripped" by the time it landed. I also remember hearing that although Concorde was a Britsh-French joint venture the paint was developed by the British alone and I believe they refused to sell it for some time to Air France. Although they did agree in the end to sell the paint to Air France, at the same time and totally unrelated British Airways acquired stock in Air France.

What is unique about concordes paint?

Concorde's paint was unique due to its specialized formulation designed to withstand the extreme conditions of supersonic flight. It featured a high-temperature resistant finish to endure the intense heat generated during flight at speeds over Mach 2. Additionally, the paint's reflective properties helped minimize heat absorption, which was crucial for maintaining the aircraft's structural integrity. This innovative approach to paint technology was essential for both performance and aesthetics, contributing to Concorde's iconic look.
