Complex Structure Solutions

Smokestack Painting: The Denver Pencil

When the University Building needed its rooftop smokestack repainted, BASE Painters turned a routine maintenance job into a Denver skyline landmark. Using rope-access techniques and a custom Sherwin-Williams coating system, the team transformed the structure into a towering No. 2 pencil — now known locally as “The Denver Pencil.” The award-winning project showcases creative design, safe execution, and lasting structural protection high above downtown.

U.S. Coast Guard LORAN Tower Restoration

BASE Painters restored five 700-foot WWII-era LORAN towers for the U.S. Coast Guard using rope-access tower painting. Crews removed lead coatings, applied a full zinc-to-polysiloxane system, and brought every structure back to FAA aviation color standards without cranes, scaffolding, or shutdowns—proof that true tower painting requires height capability, compliance, and disciplined rope access.

Smooth, uniform finish on the Silver Legacy Dome after rope-access coating project in downtown Reno.

Silver Legacy Dome Restoration

When the Silver Legacy Dome began to fade, traditional contractors walked away. The 180-foot-wide structure sits above active hotel towers with no way to stage lifts or scaffolding. BASE engineered a full rope-access solution, washing, priming, and coating more than 76,000 sq ft of fiberglass without shutting down the casino below—an award-winning dome restoration completed entirely on rope.

Roller Coaster Painting Project: SeaWorld Steel Eel Restoration

BASE Painters completed a high-access Roller Coaster Painting project on SeaWorld’s Steel Eel, restoring the 150-foot chain lift hill and upper steel sections that lifts could not reach. Using industrial rope-access systems, the crew performed surface prep, corrosion removal, and applied a PPG PSX 700 urethane coating for long-term durability. The project finished ahead of schedule with zero safety incidents.

Stadium Painting Project: Hard Rock Stadium Canopy Tower Restoration

BASE Painters completed a Stadium Painting restoration of the Hard Rock Stadium canopy towers at more than 300 feet, using redundant rope-access systems to reach areas lifts could not. The crew removed corrosion, cleaned the steel to SSPC standards, and applied a long-life Sherwin-Williams coating system. The project finished on schedule, with zero safety incidents and national recognition for high-access performance.

Colorado State Capitol Dome Restoration

BASE Painters completed a full Capitol Dome Restoration for the State of Colorado, removing failed coatings, restoring historic copper, and applying a long-life fluoropolymer system built for extreme UV and altitude. Using rope-access precision, the team reached areas traditional methods could not, delivering an award-winning restoration that returned the dome to its iconic brilliance and long-term protection.
