Client and Facility Overview

The client is a busy car dealership with a dedicated service area, known for its top-notch customer service and quality vehicle maintenance. They have a well-established presence in their community and serve a wide range of customers, from daily drivers to car enthusiasts. The service area is a high-traffic, high-intensity space where mechanics and technicians regularly handle grease, oil, and a variety of automotive fluids.

Requested Maintenance

Painters USA was contracted to repaint the interior walls of their service area. Notably, this was Phase 2 of a 3-phase project. Phase 1 involved painting the ceiling, and Phase 3 will see the installation of a new epoxy floor system.

Decision Driver and Timing

Given the inherent messiness of a garage, ensuring the service area remained clean, safe and visually appealing was a key driver for this project. The client wanted to repaint the walls to enhance the space and make it not only functional, but inviting for employees and customers alike. Timeliness and efficiency were critical factors, as downtime has a direct impact on business operations.

Scope of Work

The project involved several meticulously planned steps:

Cleaning: The team began by cleaning the walls with an industrial degreaser to ensure optimal paint adhesion. A clean surface is vital for the longevity of the paint job.
Containment: To protect the floors and electrical boxes from paint overspray, plastic sheets and makeshift walls were employed.
Painting: Using Benjamin Moore’s Coronado 5000, a durable commercial-grade paint, the walls received a fresh coat. This paint is known for quickly hiding imperfections and has a finish that can withstand the rigors of a busy auto shop. The semi-gloss sheen also helps brighten the space.
Cleanup: Once painting was complete, all plastic sheets were removed, leaving behind nothing but a clean and refreshed workspace.

Notable Details

Implementing effective containment strategies ensured that only the intended areas received paint, protecting critical elements such as floors and electrical boxes.

Selecting Benjamin Moore Coronado 5000 paint was critical. Its ability to provide fast coverage and a durable finish guaranteed that the walls would not only look great, but also withstand the daily challenges of an auto body shop.

Despite the complexity of the task, Painters USA executed the project seamlessly, minimizing disruption to the client's operations. Careful planning and execution ensured a high quality result delivered on time.

Client Satisfaction

The client was very pleased with the final result, noting the significant improvement in the appearance and brightness of the service area. They appreciated Painters USA's attention to detail, professional approach and commitment to minimal disruption. With Phase 2 successfully completed, the dealership is eagerly awaiting the next phase: the installation of a new epoxy flooring system.
