Painting the dream

PPG has entered a multi-year parks alliance agreement with Disney parks, experiences and products, where “paint and color play a dynamic role in bringing dreams to life for all who visit the world’s most magical destinations,” said the company.

“Disney and PPG have over 50 years of rich history of collaborating, as both companies understand the fundamental importance of creating magical, inspirational and engaging spaces,” said Jaime Irick, vice president, PPG architectural coatings, U.S. and Canada.

The parks alliance agreement recognizes PPG as the official paint of Walt Disney World resort and Disneyland resort, as well as the official paints, finishes and coatings provider of Walt Disney World  resort and Disneyland resort.

“This expanded relationship will allow us to strategically combine the experience of two well-known brands and supply PPG’s industry-leading expertise, services, resources and a variety of high-performing products to help enhance the Disney guest experience,” said Irick.

For the color-enthusiast consumer and the professional painter alike, said the firm, there are no places like Walt Disney World resort and Disneyland resort, which offer a myriad of opportunities for PPG paints and coatings to be in full view as they add a pop of color to the façade of some of the most-famed streets in Florida and California.

“We’re thrilled to enter into a parks alliance with PPG, expanding upon our decades-long relationship and years of teamwork,” said Carlos Castro, vice president, Disney corporate alliances.

A wide variety of PPG paints and coatings products are on display throughout Walt Disney World  resort and Disneyland  resort, the company said, including:

• PPG Pure Performance: an interior latex paint, creates a super-powered coating fit for the Guardians of the Galaxy, and other attractions.
• PPG Acri-Shield Max: a premium exterior paint that can be found on surfaces throughout Main Street, U.S.A., as well as on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience.
• Matthews Paint: a total PPG paint solution applied on surfaces spanning Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot and more, helping Disney’s iconic exteriors remain the fairest of them all.

“PPG paints color some of our signature immersive experiences which delight our guests as they make unforgettable memories with friends and families while visiting us,” said Doug Wagner, vice president, engineering services, at Walt Disney World resort.

These and a myriad of additional PPG products can be seen spreading cheer to guests exploring lands and galaxies alike, said the firm, as over 30,000 unique paint colors developed by PPG play a role in enhancing the guest experience.
