Straightline Painting is certified to apply a comprehensive range of industrial and specialty coatings for commercial and industrial property owners and facility managers throughout Summit County and the surrounding mountain region. With nearly three decades of experience and the equipment and certifications to handle technically demanding coating applications, we are the mountain region’s trusted resource for specialty coating work that needs to be done right.
Customized Industrial and Specialty Coating Services
Fireproofing Coatings
Intumescent fireproofing coatings are a critical safety component in commercial and industrial buildings, providing passive fire protection for structural steel and other building elements by expanding under heat to slow the spread of fire. Straightline Painting is certified to apply intumescent fireproofing coatings to commercial and industrial structures throughout the mountain region. We work with facility managers, building owners, and general contractors to ensure fireproofing applications meet the required fire ratings and compliance standards for each project.
Epoxy Floor Coatings
Epoxy floor systems are among the most durable and versatile coating solutions available for commercial and industrial floors. We apply professional-grade epoxy coatings to garage floors, commercial kitchen floors, warehouse floors, utility spaces, and other high-traffic or chemical-exposure environments. Properly applied epoxy creates a seamless, hard-wearing surface that resists impact, abrasion, moisture, and chemical spills while remaining easy to clean and maintain.
Automotive Facility Coatings
Automotive service centers, garages, and related facilities require coatings that can handle vehicle traffic, oil and chemical exposure, and the general demands of a working automotive environment. We apply durable epoxy floor systems, steel coatings, and other specialty finishes to automotive facilities, delivering surfaces that perform reliably under the conditions these spaces experience daily and maintain a clean, professional appearance throughout the life of the coating.
High-Humidity Environment Coatings
Commercial kitchens, pool facilities, spas, locker rooms, and mechanical rooms present coating challenges that standard interior paints simply cannot address. High moisture levels, temperature fluctuations, and the need for surfaces that can be cleaned with commercial-grade products all demand specialty coating systems designed specifically for these environments. We select and apply moisture-resistant and waterproof coating systems suited to the specific conditions of each high-humidity space, protecting walls, ceilings, and floors from the deterioration that moisture causes over time.
Steel and Metal Coatings
Structural steel, handrails, metal doors, and other metal surfaces in commercial and industrial facilities require protective coatings specifically formulated for metal substrates. We apply primer and finish coat systems to steel and metal surfaces that prevent corrosion, protect against impact and abrasion, and maintain a clean, professional appearance in commercial and industrial environments. Proper surface preparation is especially critical on metal surfaces, and our team has the experience and equipment to prepare and coat steel correctly.
Gaco Roof and Deck Coatings
Gaco roof and deck coating systems provide seamless, waterproof protection for commercial roofs and decks that are prone to standing water, UV exposure, and thermal movement. We are certified to apply Gaco coating systems to commercial properties throughout the mountain region, providing a durable, long-lasting waterproofing solution that outperforms traditional roofing and deck materials in Colorado’s demanding high-altitude climate.

Industrial and Specialty Coatings FAQs
What is an intumescent fireproofing coating and how does it work?
An intumescent fireproofing coating is a passive fire protection system applied to structural steel and other building elements. When exposed to high heat, the coating expands dramatically to form an insulating char layer that slows the transfer of heat to the underlying structure, buying critical time for building evacuation and fire suppression. Straightline Painting is certified to apply intumescent fireproofing coatings to commercial and industrial structures throughout the mountain region.
What types of floors are suitable for epoxy coating systems?
Epoxy floor coatings are well suited to concrete floors in garages, commercial kitchens, warehouses, automotive facilities, utility spaces, and other areas that experience heavy traffic, moisture exposure, or chemical contact. The key requirement is that the concrete substrate is structurally sound, properly prepared, and free of moisture issues before the epoxy is applied. We assess the condition of the floor during the initial consultation and advise on the appropriate coating system for the specific environment.
How do you prepare surfaces for industrial and specialty coatings?
Surface preparation for industrial and specialty coatings is more involved than standard paint preparation. Depending on the coating system and substrate, preparation may include power washing, mechanical grinding, shot blasting, abrasive preparation, and the application of specific primers designed to promote adhesion of the coating system. Proper preparation is the single most important factor in the long-term performance of any specialty coating application.
Can you apply specialty coatings in occupied commercial facilities?
Yes, in many cases. We work with facility managers to develop an application schedule that minimizes disruption to operations. Some coating systems require ventilation or curing time before the space can be reoccupied, and we communicate all requirements clearly upfront so facility managers can plan accordingly.
Are you insured and certified for industrial coating work?
Yes. Straightline Painting carries full General Liability, Workers Compensation, auto, and equipment coverage on every project. Our team holds relevant certifications for the specialty coating systems we apply including fireproofing coatings and epoxy systems, and all team members receive regular safety training including fall protection, boom lift certification, and PPE training.
Is industrial and specialty coating work covered by your warranty?
Yes. All Straightline Painting projects including industrial and specialty coating applications are backed by our written two-year bumper-to-bumper warranty. We stand behind the quality and performance of every coating system we apply and are committed to delivering results that meet the technical and functional requirements of your facility.
