Choosing the right coating matters as much as the painting itself. These are the commercial-grade products our crews rely on, where each one fits, and when we recommend upgrading. If you are not sure which is right for your building, we will recommend a system at your free quote.
Exterior Paints
At Indiana Painting Company, we understand that a quality paint job is an investment in your commercial property’s future. The longevity of your paint finish directly impacts your building’s appearance, protection, and overall value, which is why we take every project seriously.
Premium Products for Lasting Results
We exclusively use top-tier commercial-grade paints that deliver exceptional performance and durability. Our preferred products are all from Sherwin-Williams: SuperPaint Exterior for reliable coverage and fade resistance, Duration Exterior for extreme weather resistance, Emerald Exterior for smooth application and rich color retention, and Emerald Rain Refresh for high-traffic areas requiring maximum protection. Each of these premium formulations has been tested in real-world commercial environments and proven to withstand the demands of Indiana’s changing climate.
Our selection process considers several factors specific to your property:
- Building exposure to weather elements
- Foot traffic patterns around your facility
- Industry-specific requirements (healthcare, hospitality, retail, etc.)
- Your budget and maintenance schedule preferences
Confidence Backed by Commitment
We’re so confident in our workmanship and material choices that every commercial paint job comes with our comprehensive seven-year, hassle-free warranty. This isn’t just a promise—it’s our guarantee that your investment will perform as expected. If you notice any issues with coverage, adhesion, or finish quality during the warranty period, simply give us a call. We’ll assess the situation and make it right at no additional cost to you.
Interior Paints
When it comes to selecting the right paint for your commercial new-build project, Indiana Painting Company has extensive experience with products that deliver both quality and value. For most standard commercial applications, we consistently recommend Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC.
ProMar 200 has earned its reputation as the industry’s workhorse for good reason. It offers excellent coverage, durability, and cost-effectiveness that make it ideal for large-scale commercial projects, with strong hiding power, smooth application and a reliable finish. Because it is zero-VOC, it is also a good fit for occupied buildings.
However, we understand that not every project fits the standard mold. If you’re working with a repaint project, dealing with high-traffic areas, or facing unique environmental challenges, Indiana Painting Company recommends upgrading to premium-grade options. Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 HP Zero VOC offers enhanced durability and resistance to scuffs and burnishing, making it perfect for busy spaces like schools, hospitals, or retail environments. Duration Home provides excellent coverage and stain resistance, and Emerald Interior is our top choice for washability and deep, rich brand colors.
While these premium options will add approximately 15% to your overall project pricing, the investment often pays dividends through reduced maintenance costs and extended paint life. Indiana Painting Company works closely with each client to evaluate their specific needs, budget constraints, and long-term goals to recommend the most appropriate paint system for their commercial project.
Dryfall for Exposed Ceilings
For most exposed decking in offices and retail stores, Indiana Painting Company strongly recommends Sherwin-Williams waterborne dryfall paint. These products deliver exceptional performance for commercial environments where durability and aesthetics matter most.
Why We Choose Dryfall Paint for Commercial Spaces
The waterborne version stands out for several key reasons. First, it produces minimal odor during application, making it ideal for occupied buildings where business operations cannot be interrupted. Second, the coverage is consistently excellent, ensuring your project stays on budget without sacrificing quality. Third, cleanup is straightforward, which keeps our crews efficient and your job site clean.
When Dryfall Paint Isn’t the Right Choice
However, we don’t recommend this product for auto repair shops or more demanding industrial applications. These environments require specialized coatings that can withstand harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and heavy mechanical wear that standard dryfall paint simply wasn’t designed to handle.
High-Performance Alternatives for Demanding Applications
For projects requiring superior durability and chemical resistance, Indiana Painting Company recommends upgrading to Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial DTM Acrylic or Pro Industrial Multi-Surface Acrylic. These premium coatings offer enhanced protection against corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure while maintaining excellent adhesion and long-term color retention.
Our Commitment to Quality
At Indiana Painting Company, we take the guesswork out of product selection. Our experienced team evaluates each project’s unique requirements to ensure you get the right coating for your specific application and budget. This approach has helped us build lasting relationships with commercial clients across Indiana who trust us to deliver professional results that stand the test of time.
High-Performance Coatings for Industrial and Metal Surfaces
At Indiana Painting Company, we understand that choosing the right paint for your industrial or automotive facility can make the difference between a project that lasts for years and one that requires costly touch-ups within months.
New Construction and First-Time Painting Projects
For new builds or facilities that have never been painted before, we strongly recommend starting with a high-quality Direct-to-Metal (DTM) coating for your initial paint application. This foundation is crucial for long-term durability and performance.
Sherwin-Williams Options
- Multi-Surface Acrylic: Provides excellent adhesion and flexibility across various substrates
- Pro Industrial DTM Acrylic: Specifically engineered for direct application to metal surfaces without primer, with strong corrosion resistance and durability
Each of these products delivers exceptional performance and represents a smart investment for facilities that demand reliable, long-lasting results. The DTM approach eliminates the need for separate primer applications, saving both time and labor costs while ensuring optimal adhesion.
Previously Painted Surfaces
For facilities with existing paint that require refinishing, we take a different approach to maximize both value and performance. Our go-to recommendation is Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC, available in both eggshell and semi-gloss finishes.
Why ProMar 200?
- Outstanding cost-effectiveness without compromising quality
- Excellent durability for high-traffic industrial environments
- Superior coverage that reduces the number of coats needed
- Easy maintenance and cleaning properties
The semi-gloss finish works particularly well in areas that require frequent cleaning or experience heavy wear, while the eggshell finish provides a more subtle appearance for general workspace areas.
Making the Right Choice for Your Budget
We believe every project deserves quality results, regardless of budget constraints. That’s why we carefully select products that deliver the most economical and durable finish possible. Our recommendations balance upfront costs with long-term performance, ensuring you get maximum value from your painting investment.
Whether you’re working on a brand-new facility or refreshing an existing space, Indiana Painting Company has the expertise and product knowledge to guide you toward the best solution for your specific needs and budget requirements.
Epoxy Coatings
When it comes to selecting the right epoxy paint for your commercial or industrial facility, Indiana Painting Company has extensive experience with products that deliver both performance and value.
For Carwashes and High-Traffic Commercial Spaces
After painting numerous carwashes across Indiana, we’ve found two epoxy systems that consistently outperform the competition: Sherwin-Williams Macropoxy 646 and Dura-Plate 235. Both products offer exceptional durability against the constant moisture, chemicals, and abrasion that carwashes endure daily.
What makes these epoxies particularly attractive for business owners is their cost-effectiveness. You don’t need to break your budget to get professional-grade protection. These systems provide excellent adhesion to concrete surfaces and maintain their appearance even under harsh conditions. The Macropoxy 646 features superior chemical resistance, while Dura-Plate 235 offers outstanding corrosion protection—both essential qualities for facilities that operate around the clock.
For Industrial Facilities and Workshop Environments
If your facility requires regular cleaning with industrial chemicals and high-pressure water systems, we recommend stepping up to premium waterborne epoxy systems. Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial Waterbased Catalyzed Epoxy and Pro Industrial Pre-Catalyzed Waterbased Epoxy represent the gold standard for environments where hygiene and chemical resistance are paramount.
These advanced systems excel in food processing plants, pharmaceutical facilities, and manufacturing shops where walls face repeated cleaning cycles with harsh detergents and sanitizers. The waterborne formulations provide easier application and faster cure times while maintaining the superior durability you need.
Why Trust Indiana Painting Company’s Recommendations
Our team has applied thousands of gallons of epoxy coatings across diverse industrial applications. We’ve seen which products fail prematurely and which ones continue protecting surfaces years after installation. This real-world experience allows us to recommend coatings that match your specific operational demands and budget constraints.
Whether you’re protecting a new facility or renovating an existing space, choosing the right epoxy system from the start saves money and downtime in the long run.
