Iconic signs deserve special attention and care, and we were lucky enough to get the opportunity to transform the fading 80-foot-high airplane monument and signs that tower over the 5 freeway.

-

It was critical that we restore the bright, vivid colors to these towering signs that serve as a marker to the entrance of the Burbank Empire Shopping Center. Surprising to us, once we got a close look at the iconic airplanes with the boom, we found out there was a lot more detail and color changes than we expected. In fact, we used 25 custom made colors to paint the signs. It was a fun challenge for our team to restore these detailed airplanes!

-

Working during regular business hours in busy locations meant we had to be creative with our scheduling, as well as keep public safety top priority. One of the signs is situated above one of the busiest Krispy Kremes in the country. Working closely with the general manager of the store, a schedule was created for the best working times.

We utilized an 80' boom lift, and the entire project took our crew 689 hours to complete.

We received the 2015 KILZ® Picture it Painted Professionally (PIPP) award from the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America (PDCA) for our work. The award was presented during the 2015 Painting Decorating Expo. The annual awards program is hosted by PDCA and recognizes the best performances in the coatings application industry by individuals and contracting company members of PDCA.

While the award made us proud, we're even happier every time we drive by those bold airplanes!
