I could be wrong, but I think this is an ad for Nationwide insurance, not the paint store.

Yes, those are Nationwide ads.
I am studying design at Ohio State and have made frequent trips downtown, this building is located off of High Street.
There was a hubub when Orange Barrel Media originally set up these huge advertisements since they exceed the size regulated by the federal government.
I've seen several incarnations of this building used as a billboard. One featured a young man who in the last panel was bald, another featured a romance novel cover with the couple depicted as elderly in the final panel.

Yeah, I live in Columbus. It's indeed a Nationwide ad (Columbus is corporate HQ for Nationwide Insurance and their HQ is just up the street from this, not even a block.)
There is a parking lot between 2 blocks (on N. High between Long and Spring) between 2 buildings and it's been used for a lot of 3D and oversized advertising for quite some time.
I think this is the first time the ads have "dripped" into the actual parking lot. Effective and entertaining nonetheless.
