Manufacturing Facility Painting Project

Manufacturing Facility Painting Project
Our team here at CertaPro Painters® of Cedar Rapids started this manufacturing facility painting project in Iowa City, Iowa in July 2022. This is a large manufacturing facility that has many pedestrian paths, and walkways that need to be clearly legible so that workers are safe and know where to walk in this facility. Many of the old lines have simply worn off or have become hard to see due to fork lift’s, carts, and other items driving over them.
Before the project began…
Many of the lines were missing, hard to see, chipped or just dirty. The client also wanted to add safety stops in certain areas.
