This 16-story high mural proudly covers the entire west side of the refurbished Pierside Santa Monica hotel which is situated opposite the world-famous Santa Monica Pier.
MuralShield was specified to protect the mural against the elements including UV sunlight, weather and salt spray. The application process immediately brought out the beautiful color palette which will endure for many many years to come.
Inspired by the beauty of Santa Monica and its rich history filled with creators and rebels of the surf, skate, and music culture, the Pierside Hotel mural welcomes visitors to the vibrant epicenter of Santa Monica's beaches and shopping district.
Protecting Obey Giant's Latest Mural
Earlier
this
year,
Artist
Shepard
Fairey's
team
contacted
us
to
protect
their
largest
commissioned
mural
on
the
West
Coast.
The
mural,
painted
on
the
west-facing
wall
of
the
Pierside
Hotel
in
Santa
Monica
features
bright
red
and
blue
pigments
that
would
be
vulnerable
to
degradation
with
exposure
to
UV
sunlight.
The
mural
was
finished
with
two
coats
of
MuralShield
-
a
conservation-grade
coating
that
will
prevent
any
damage
caused
by
UV,
weather,
salt
spray,
and
pollutants
prolonging
the
color
and
vibrancy
of
the
pigments.
