We completed a commercial interior painting project for a car dealership in Wilsonville, Oregon, focusing on the walls in their new showroom. The goal was to create a modern, bold look using a deep, dark wall color that complemented the high-end vehicles on display.

Challenges of Dark Paint on Smooth Walls

Painting with dark colors on smooth, showroom-grade walls is no small task. These surfaces tend to reveal even the smallest imperfections in application, sheen, or finish consistency.

• We used professional laser levels to mark out and cut razor-straight lines for a crisp, clean transition with the white and black

• Special care was taken to apply the paint evenly across all surfaces, using the proper rollers and techniques to avoid flashing, roller marks, and uneven build—common challenges with dark pigments.

• Each coat was applied with a focus on coverage, smoothness, and maintaining a consistent sheen throughout the space.

A Clean, Bold Look for a High-Profile Space

The end result is a sleek, professional backdrop that highlights the vehicles and elevates the overall feel of the showroom. Straight cut lines, even coverage, and smooth finishes make this wall work a subtle—but essential—part of the dealership’s presentation space.
