Restauración y protección de murales en el estudio Fox Studios con MuralShield
cASE STUDY
Watch this iconic Young Frankenstein mural come back to life at the Fox Studio Lot in Los Angeles, CA. First painted by Mike Denering and located on Stage 5, where the classic 1974 film was originally filmed, this mural had faded significantly over the years. Exposure to sunlight and weather turned the once vibrant paint strokes into an array of dull grays.
The mural is being treated with two coats of MuralShield to breathe fresh life into it and protect it for many more years to come. This restoration not only revives the mural’s original vibrancy but also ensures its preservation against future environmental damage.
After the success of this first mural restoration, the Fox Studio team has begun working on 7 more studio murals totaling over 80k square feet!

Challenge
Over the decades, these murals at Fox Studios have faced exposure to environmental elements, leading to significant wear and tear. As the murals began to deteriorate, preserving their historical and artistic significance became increasingly urgent. The challenge was to safeguard these iconic artworks and ensure they continue to tell their stories.
Solution
To address the preservation needs, MuralShield was selected for its superior protective and preservation capabilities, providing a robust shield against UV rays, consolidates aging and new paint, and weatherproofs against the elements.
The application of MuralShield has significantly enhanced the longevity and appearance of the murals.
“MuralShield brings out the color and luster.You can really see the difference in the finished product.”
