 www.kmorganassociates.comProject Overview

When the iconic PEZ Candy brand sought to revitalize its Welcome & Visitor Center in Orange, CT—a flagship experience attracting fans from across the country—they turned to KMorgan Painting for a solution that would match their bold, playful identity. With over 30+ years of commercial experience across New Haven and Middlesex counties, KMorgan Painting was the clear choice to bring the space to life with precision and professionalism.Scope of Work

KMorgan Painting was contracted to handle the complete interior painting of the 4,000+ sq. ft. visitor center, which features:

• Oversized PEZ Dispenser Installations
• Multi-Color Steel Archways in red, orange, yellow, and purple
• Display Walls showcasing vintage memorabilia and collectibles
• Retail & Checkout Zones requiring durable, high-traffic finishes
• Second-Floor Mezzanine and wall graphics integration

Challenges

• Color Matching & Brand Consistency:
• Each color had to match PEZ’s global branding standards exactly—from the deep red of their signature dispenser to the bright yellow accenting their museum-quality displays.
• High-Traffic Commercial Coating:
• The paints had to not only look vibrant under showroom lighting but also resist scuffs, fading, and daily wear from thousands of visitors annually.
• Complex Surfaces & Scale:
• The team worked on high, multi-dimensional elements like towering archways and ceiling structures, requiring advanced equipment, coordination, and safety protocols.

Solutions & Execution

KMorgan Painting used:

• Sherwin-Williams industrial-grade paints for color durability and vibrancy
• Scissor lifts and scaffolding to safely reach elevated beams and archways
• Precision taping and cutting techniques to maintain razor-sharp color transitions
• Low-VOC paint systems to ensure safe indoor air quality during and after application

Every surface—from the showroom displays to the immersive walk-through archways—was treated with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the KMorgan reputation for craftsmanship and care.Results

The final space is a visually stunning, Instagram-worthy destination that delivers on PEZ’s nostalgic charm while offering a modern, immersive brand experience. KMorgan Painting’s work helped solidify the center as a top family-friendly attraction and candy-lover’s paradise.

Visual Impact:

• Clean, vibrant color palettes
• Flawless finishes across high-use surfaces
• Picture-perfect results aligned with PEZ’s global branding
