Case Study: Transforming a High-Volume Honda Dealership with Durable and Vibrant Paint Solutions

Background

In February 2024, CertaPro Painters® of Clifton undertook a significant exterior painting project for a prominent Honda dealership. Known for its striking deep blue wall, facade, and dynamic wave design on the front of the building, this dealership faced unique challenges due to its constant exposure to sunlight and the necessity for the work to be completed within a single day.

Project Overview

Condition Before Project Commencement:

The dealership’s exterior was severely weathered, suffering from prolonged exposure to sunlight from dawn till dusk without any protection from trees or nearby structures. The need for a resilient painting solution was paramount to ensure the longevity of the facade’s vibrant appearance.

Project Execution:

Scheduled for a single day in early February, the painting project required meticulous planning and execution. The chosen day offered dry and warm weather conditions, essential for outdoor painting and in line with the paint manufacturer’s requirements. CertaPro Painters® selected Sherwin Williams Sher-Cryl HPA, a high-performance acrylic paint known for its superior color and gloss retention, addressing the dealership’s need for a durable and long-lasting finish.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the primary challenges was the dealership’s operational schedule. As a high-volume business, the only available day for undertaking the project was Sunday, when the dealership was closed. This constraint demanded efficient project management and staffing to ensure completion within the tight timeframe. Additionally, the selection of the Sher-Cryl HPA paint was crucial in overcoming the environmental challenges posed by the building’s full-day sun exposure.

Results

The project was a resounding success, with the entire painting task completed in just one day. The dealership’s facade was transformed with a renewed vibrancy and a protective finish that promises to withstand the harsh sun exposure and maintain its aesthetic appeal for years to come.

Conclusion

CertaPro Painters® of Clifton demonstrated exceptional expertise and efficiency in addressing the unique challenges of this project. Through careful planning, the selection of high-quality materials, and expert execution, the team not only met but exceeded expectations, delivering a stunning and durable exterior makeover for the Honda dealership.
