Bringing Back Color: Exterior Accent Refresh at the Rickenbacker Headquarters
In July 2025, CertaPro Painters® of Long Beach / Torrance, CA partnered with Rickenbacker International, the legendary guitar and bass manufacturer, to refresh their Santa Ana headquarters and factory.
Known worldwide for shaping the distinctive “jangle” sound of rock and pop music, Rickenbacker’s Main Street facility needed a quick exterior update to restore vibrancy and maintain a professional, well-kept appearance.
This commercial repaint was completed in just a couple of days, minimizing disruption to Rickenbacker’s operations. The fast turnaround ensured the facility could continue its work uninterrupted while benefiting from an updated exterior that better represents the iconic brand.

More About This Commercial Painting Project
Scope of the Work:The project focused on restoring the green accent band that runs horizontally along the top edge of the building’s exterior. Over time, the band had faded due to direct sun exposure, diminishing the building’s sharp, recognizable appearance. Our crew began with thorough surface preparation, including cleaning and pressure washing to remove dirt, buildup, and chalking. After the surface was ready, the team repainted the band, ensuring an even, durable finish that restored the building’s color and visibility.
Special Considerations:Unlike a full exterior repaint, this project required precision and attention to detail in isolating only the horizontal band without disturbing the rest of the façade. Careful masking and controlled application allowed the team to achieve clean lines and consistent coverage. By focusing only on the areas in need, the work was completed efficiently while still making a noticeable impact.
