It's strange that these materials are so hard to paint, you'd think that that would be a main consideration in creating an awning or storefront.Zacharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474240202879870641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842206651158755326.post-59232411373124529002019-05-03T20:05:34.963-04:002019-05-03T20:05:34.963-04:00You'd think by now painters would have realize...You'd think by now painters would have realized that painting those awnings doesn't work.<br /><br />We had an Albany Public here (which was originally a blue/green color) that was bought by Grand Union (not sure if they painted it since it wasn't open that long) then became Big Al's (bright red), followed by Fays Drugs (dark brown), then Eckerd (Dark Blue) before sitting vacant for a few years after Rite Aid bought them out (now it's a Planet Fitness, and they redid the whole front to their look so the awning is no longer there).<br /><br />All that time, every time the paint would peel or chip off, you'd always see the blue/green color, never any of the others, even after there were 4 layers on top of it (I think Fays was longest and they painted it brown a couple times)!<br /><br />Same happens with the roof tiles from Howard Johnson - no matter what color they try, there is almost always orange peeking out!BillyGrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279813135042821835noreply@blogger.com
