For the color-enthusiast consumer and the professional painter alike, 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 while also providing a protective layer to surfaces where guests eat, play, stay and relax.

“PPG paints are known for exceptional quality, and they 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. “We are happy to continue our relationship with PPG and keep on creating special moments for guests and their families.”

A wide variety of PPG paints and coatings products are on display throughout Walt Disney World® Resort and Disneyland® Resort, including:

  • PPG PURE PERFORMANCE®: an interior latex paint, formulated for excellent hide and with zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs*), creates a super-powered coating fit for the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction at EPCOT®, where application of this PPG product can be seen at this new, family-thrill attraction. Additionally, this interior paint can be found on surfaces inside Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway attraction at Disneyland® Park.
  • PPG ACRI-SHIELD MAX®: a premium quality exterior paint that can be found on surfaces throughout Main Street, U.S.A., and Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom® Park, as well as on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience – a first-of-its-kind Star Wars adventure.

Applied on surfaces spanning Magic Kingdom® Park, EPCOT®, Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, this coating helps ensure Disney’s iconic exteriors remain the fairest of them all.

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

“The Disney experience is simply unparalleled, and we couldn’t be more proud of our ability to play a role in the curation of enchanting colors that make visiting their properties memorable,” said Irick. “We look forward to playing the part of the Official Paints, Finishes and Coatings Provider of Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort for years to come.”
