Embassy Suites - Rooftop Mural

Size: 7,500-square-foot mural project
Location: Greenville, South Carolina
Products: AcryShield A600 QuickSet
Artist: August Vernon

Challenge:

• Existing roof substrate was TPO which is historically hard to adhere to. 

• Roof coating used in the mural required superior dirt pick-up resistance. 

• Hot and humid weather conditions with mid-day storms required the use of a fast-setting roof coating to ensure 
proper set-up and dry time.
• Roofing coating needed to be tinted to over 25 vibrant colors. 


Solution:

• National Coatings’ products were chosen because of their superior ability to adhere to TPO membrane. 

• National Coatings perfectly matched over 25 paint colors chosen by the artist. 

• Quick Set AcryShield roof coating allowed the coating to set-up and skim within 30 minutes, ensuring the artist’s mural work would withstand an afternoon shower. 


National Coatings is proud to be part of this 7,500-square-foot mural project featuring Greenville’s history and institutions. The mural was painted on the roof of the Embassy Suites Riverplace Downtown. The mural, designed and painted by artist August Vernon, features Upstate landmarks and civic leaders. The mural incorporated vibrant colors and imagery to depict Greenville’s history, institutions, visionaries, geography, and attractions. It will be visible to guests from their hotel rooms and patrons of the rooftop restaurant in Greenville, SC. National Coatings has the ability to custom tint our product to match most colors. Our AcryShield A600 series product was specially tinted to over 25 colors requested by the artist for this project.
