On the coast, painted walls tend to fade faster, are pummeled with wind-driven rain, are exposed to salt around the clock, and are breeding grounds for bio-growth like algae and fungus. One seven-story Destin, Florida, resort nestled between Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico was looking for a fresh update but wanted more longevity for its money.
