As its 100th birthday approaches, the iconic Hollywood sign is getting a bit of a makeover.
Cue the inevitable jokes about celebrity face-lifts and nips and tucks because the aging letters are getting a fresh paint job.
Although it might take a couple gallons to cover your bedroom walls, the nonprofit Hollywood Sign Trust will use 400 gallons of High Reflective White SW 7757 from Sherwin Williams to make the city’s biggest star shine brighter.
Each letter stands 45 feet tall, and the paint jobs will take 10 people about eight weeks, according to the Hollywood Sign Trust and Sherwin Williams. Preparation begins Monday, and painting and priming will start Oct. 3.
