Sherwin-Williams to Repaint Hollywood Sign Iconic Letters for Centennial Celebration
In advance of its 100th anniversary, the Hollywood sign is being refurbished with a fresh coat of paint on its iconic letters. The sign is the pride of Los Angeles.
The sign was last refurbished in 2012. The project cost $175,000 at the time and was funded by Hollywood Sign Trust and The Sherwin-Williams Company. This work is done about every 10 years as that’s about the life cycle of the paint.
Just as in 2012, global coatings manufacturer Sherwin-Williams and coating contractor Duggan and Associates will be leading the project. Work is expected to take about eight weeks and will be completed by a crew of 10 painters. The project is slated to reach completion by early November. The painting project can be viewed via livestream.
