SHERWIN-WILLIAMS AND HOLLYWOOD SIGN TRUST COMPLETE MAKEOVER OF TINSELTOWN'S MARQUEE CELEBRITY

The timeless beauty of Tinseltown's biggest star – the Hollywood Sign – has been restored as it enters its next century thanks to a speedy centennial facelift from Sherwin-Williams and the Hollywood Sign Trust.

Over the four-week refurbishment, Roger Martinez led his dedicated crew of 10 workers from commercial painting company Duggan & Associates to prep, prime and paint the Sign from sunrise to sunset using nearly 400 gallons of Emerald Rain Refresh paint in Extra White SW 7006 (referred to as "Hollywood Sign Centennial White" for the occasion). The historical landmark was refreshed approximately a month ahead of schedule.

Emerald Rain Refresh was chosen for its ultra-durable exterior coating with Self-Cleaning Technology™ and excellent UV and weather protection to keep the Hollywood Sign gleaming beneath the sun for centuries to come. This innovative paint is formulated to repel dirt upon contact with rain or water for a clean and fresh look with minimal maintenance.

"We're thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with the Hollywood Sign Trust to usher the Sign into its next century," said Justin Binns, president of the Americas Group at Sherwin-Williams. "For 155 years, Sherwin-Williams has helped protect and beautify our nation's most iconic landmarks through trusted and innovative paint solutions, and it was an honor for us to help bring this stunning milestone restoration to life."

"We are so grateful to the talented team that helped us complete this effort and are thrilled for fans around the world to view and capture the Sign's new centennial makeover," said Jeff Zarrinnam, chairman, Hollywood Sign Trust. "The opportunity to partner again with Sherwin-Williams on this extensive project is a testament to the Sign's legacy as a beautiful, timeless and treasured symbol of hopes and dreams."

One of the most photographed sites in the world, the Hollywood Sign has been repaired over the years and was completely rebuilt in 1978. It was last refurbished in 2012 by Sherwin-Williams and the Hollywood Sign Trust to celebrate the iconic landmark's 90th anniversary.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
