Project Spotlight: Durable, High-Quality Exterior Repaint for Franz Family Bakery in Nampa, Idaho
January 1, 2024
We had the pleasure of partnering with Franz Family Bakery, in Nampa. They came to us looking for an exterior repaint that could withstand the demands of their industrial environment while staying fresh-looking over time. With high-traffic surfaces and large silo areas, durability and ease of maintenance were key. Our team was excited to help give this busy space a long-lasting, professional appearance that stands up to Idaho’s weather.
Here’s What We Did:
- Complete Exterior Repaint – We used Sherwin-Williams Emerald Rain Refresh paint, which naturally helps surfaces stay clean by repelling dust and dirt with every rainfall. This paint was perfect for Franz Family Bakery, as it allows natural elements like rain to help maintain the building’s fresh look.
- Surface Preparation & Sealing – To prep for the topcoat, we handled masonry and surface sealing. This crucial step helps prevent peeling and ensures a fuller-bodied, professional finish that lasts.
- Blue Accent Stripe and Facia Painting – We added a custom blue accent stripe along with fascia painting, giving the exterior a sharp, modern look that reflects the bakery’s branding.
- Exterior Metal Doors & Trim – We painted exterior metal man doors and trim using Sherwin-Williams Pro-Industrial Alkyd Urethane Enamel, chosen for its extreme durability and resistance to the daily wear and tear that comes with high-traffic placements.
- Handrails and Metal Ladder – For safety and appearance, we refreshed the blue paint on handrails and the metal ladder around the silo area, adding cohesion to the overall design and added protection against rust and wear.
Project Impact:
This project achieved exactly what Franz Family Bakery needed—a durable, polished exterior that’s easy to maintain and adds a professional, cohesive look to their facility. Our team’s careful prep work, quality materials, and eye for detail make it possible for Franz to enjoy a refreshed, lasting look that can handle the demands of their busy operations. We’re always glad to support local businesses in the Boise Metro area by helping them create functional, long-lasting workspaces.

At Spray ’n Coat Painting, we often get called in to finish what others couldn’t quite get right—and that was the case with this 2,000 sq. ft. concrete floor coating project at the Caldwell Airport terminal. The building, now home to a private charter company, needed a durable and clean finish to make the space more welcoming for employees and travelers. Project Background This terminal originally had carpet in several areas, and after it was removed, thick glue residue was left behind across the concrete floors. Our customer had hired another contractor to handle the coating work, but unfortunately, they lacked the necessary equipment and experience for the job. That’s when we stepped in to get things done right. Our Process To give the customer the clean, sealed finish he was hoping for, our crew tackled the job in several key steps: Joint Filler Replacement: We started by removing the old joint filler and refilling the seams. Heavy Grinding & Surface Prep: Using professional grinding equipment, we stripped away all glue residue and opened up the pores of the concrete to ensure a strong bond. Matte Polyurethane Coating: We applied a commercial-grade polyurethane sealer in a matte finish. This not only improved the look of the space but also provided a stain-resistant, slip-resistant surface that can stand up to heavy foot traffic. Why It Matters For a commercial space like this—where first impressions matter and safety is non-negotiable—the right prep and coating system makes all the difference. The finished floor is now sealed, low-maintenance, and ready to take on day-to-day traffic from both staff and customers.

Key Differences in How Moisture Affects Painted vs. Wood Cabinets
Kitchen Island Cabinet Painting: Creating a Standout Statement with Dried Thyme Not every kitchen upgrade requires a full remodel. Sometimes, one bold, well-executed change can make the biggest impact. That was the case with this recent kitchen island makeover, where our customer wanted one thing: to make their island the statement piece of the space. They chose Dried Thyme by Sherwin-Williams—a soft, earthy green that brings both character and calm to a room. We used our cabinet painting process to deliver a durable, factory-grade finish that gave their island a whole new identity. Here’s how it came together—and why cabinet painting is one of the smartest updates you can make in your kitchen. Why the Island? Why Dried Thyme? This homeowner wasn’t trying to overhaul their entire kitchen. Their layout worked well, the surrounding white cabinetry was in great shape, and their countertops already brought a clean, timeless look. But the island felt flat. It blended in too much—and they wanted something with a little more presence. Enter Dried Thyme (SW 6186) . This sage-toned green shifts beautifully with the light throughout the day, creating a cozy yet elevated look. It paired perfectly with their existing white perimeter cabinets, quartz counters, and the updated matte black hardware. Looking for more island color inspiration? Sherwin-Williams has a great visualizer tool for testing colors in real spaces.
