All visible rust was wire brushed away, and the surfaces were cleaned and prepared for coating. We then applied\u00a0Sherwin-Williams KemBond HS, an alkyd-based, rust-inhibiting primer, to provide a solid protective foundation.<\/p>\n<p>For the finish coat, we applied\u00a0two coats of Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial Multi-Surface Acrylic (MSA), providing a durable finish suitable for a demanding commercial exterior environment.<\/p>\n<p>The colour scheme combines\u00a0White\u00a0on the columns with\u00a0Midnight Clover (DLX 1138-7)\u00a0on the green elements, creating a clean, refreshed appearance while maintaining a strong commercial presence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Products Used<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sherwin-Williams KemBond HS \u2014 rust-inhibiting alkyd primer<\/li>\n<li>Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial Multi-Surface Acrylic \u2014 finish coat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Colours<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>White \u2014 columns<\/li>\n<li>Midnight Clover (DLX 1138-7) \u2014 green posts, sign posts, and frame<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][uncode_custom_fields post_type=&#8221;projects&#8221; custom_fields_single_projects=&#8221;detail-485842&#8243; custom_fields_single_resources=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-190564&#8243; medias=&#8221;148086,148095,148094&#8243; dynamic=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,icon|md&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_overlay_color=&#8221;color-dblue&#8221; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_h_align=&#8221;center&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; single_icon=&#8221;fa fa-plus&#8221; single_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_css_animation=&#8221;top-t-bottom&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;277851&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;p&#8221; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;335012&#8243;]Before Pictures:[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-41844&#8243; medias=&#8221;148088,148087&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,icon|md&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_width=&#8221;2&#8243; images_size=&#8221;one-one&#8221; single_overlay_color=&#8221;color-dblue&#8221; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_h_align=&#8221;center&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; single_icon=&#8221;fa fa-plus&#8221; single_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_css_animation=&#8221;top-t-bottom&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;594440&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;737621&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_button button_color=&#8221;color-dblue&#8221; size=&#8221;link&#8221; btn_link_size=&#8221;h5&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;right-t-left&#8221; animation_speed=&#8221;600&#8243; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":148093,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"project_category":[449],"class_list":["post-148199","projects","type-projects","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-commercial"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elitetradepainting.com\/ottawa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/148199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elitetradepainting.com\/ottawa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elitetradepainting.com\/ottawa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elitetradepainting.com\/ottawa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/elitetradepainting.com\/ottawa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/148199\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":148203,"href":"https:\/\/elitetradepainting.com\/ottawa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/148199\/revisions\/148203"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elitetradepainting.com\/ottawa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elitetradepainting.com\/ottawa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elitetradepainting.com\/ottawa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=148199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
