Purple Painting repainted the exterior of a YMCA portable building at Monte Vista School in Santa Barbara, for the general contractor Schipper Construction.

The whole exterior was pressure washed. The existing wood siding, skirting, trim, window casings, horizontal band trim and metal flashing were spot primed and given two finish coats. The new entry doors, painted on both faces, and the new wood landing deck, railing and landing skirt trim were primed and given two finish coats. The paints were exterior acrylics, custom tinted to the colours selected for the building.
