Painting Weems & Plath

Ahh so remember I promised from an earlier entry I'd show the finished product of this building? Now it is all done! I wasn't just gonna leave it looking like that.

For painting this establishment which consists of brick and wood first we scraped all the peeling paint. This process took two people half a day to do.  We then applied seal grip latex primer tinted to the finish color for the entire area to be painted. This gave us the adhesion needed for the top coat of paint and sealed down all of the rest of the peeling areas. The finish coat of paint was a Pittsburgh paints product called "Timeless" and we usually get it in a satin finish for exteriors. As you can see here below we had to brush down every single groove between each board. This is very time consuming, but a necessary step to a great finished product. Just in case you were wondering we didn't have anything to do with painting the white letters. We only removed them so they could get new ones.
