Arcade Exterior Painting Project
by CertaPro Painters
Exterior Painting Project for Arcade in Pigeon Forge, TN
In April 2021, CertaPro Painters® of East Tennessee was hired to help with a refresh of a multi-color exterior for an arcade in a popular tourist area. The scope of the project included painting roughly 5000 square feet of EFIS/Stucco on the exterior. The challenges of the project were not the size, but the details due to the rough surfaces and use of many colors. The exterior also had LED light strips set up on most of the exterior surfaces, our crew cut in around the strips to ensure they held up through the project. The project ran from April-May 2021 and was completed in about 4 weeks.
CHALLENGES:
Complex shape of surfaces on the exterior of the building, plus LED lighting that had to be preserved through the project.
CHALLENGES:CONDITIONS:
The surfaces of the building were in good shape, but the original paint colors had faded. We did a few minor stucco repairs. Painting to the front of the building only. New paint scheme (as seen in the pictures).
PROJECT INVOLVEMENT:
We had to use Sherwin Williams Resilience due to the bold colors. This is a customer we have done several projects for similar to this. They own arcades and restaurants all around the Pigeon Forge/Sevierville, TN area. We had to use Sherwin Williams Resilience due to the bold colors.

3 coats of paint were applied to most of the surfaces due to the bold colors, and to cover up the old colors. The 3 coats were accounted for and included in the bid.
The only special equipment needed was a 45’ articulating lift. The main challenge was working around the traffic and people. We had limited hours we could work each day, and we could not work weekends due to customer traffic. Safety was obviously a big deal, not only because of the foot traffic around our work space, but also the power lines close to the building.
