Looks like their putting a primer on it before they paint it black again.

it's 1/2 done
When I drove by DHS on 1/26 only 1/2 was white and 1/2 was freshly painted black.

Why do they have to prime it first if they are painting it black again??

I noticed the theming from the new Monters Inc area. I am encouraged that this will be the level of theming for all of Pixar Place! Kudos to the team that came up with the facade. Hopefully the future is to carry the theme throughout the meet and greet when they are made permanent. Excellent!!!!

I would suppose they needed to sand what was there previously, and the primer just makes for a better paint job in any case. :shrug:

Because they already primed the bottom part of the tower, and thus redo the ears... so they don't have to come back and do them later and maybe ruin the new logo.

those ears are racist! Everybody knows Mickey has black ears. Why does the man want the world to think Mickey ears are white?
What next, Pluto's nose? :hammer:
:lol::lol::lol:
To properly not offend anyone, the Earffel Tower will next be painted in a transparent paint, to make it nearly invisible. In addition, it will be given dreadlocks and a shoulder cannon to complete the Predator feel. :lookaroun

Thanks for the DHS updates, Steve.
During one of our family visits - either late 90s or early 2000's - the ears were painted blue. It was so wrong.
That was 1998 - for the premier year of Fantasmic! - it had white stars and moons like Mickey's sorcerer hat.
And that theming for the Monster's Inc. entrance way is from the old MGM days (the brick way with the busted gate) - the Imagineers did nothing too earthshattering to fit it into the new theme.

Primer is a base coat to protect rusting or damage of surfaces, or at least slow it down so they don't have to paint so often. It also allows you to keep from putting alot of extra layers of paint which would make it too heavy to stand without it being pulled down from the weight. And before we moved into our home I had to cover up some very dark blue paint from the previous owners with said primer. So it is also a cover for instances like this.
