So Donald has a new paint job and It looks real nice in photos but guess what? It’s slippery again. I think the artists who take it upon themselves to paint the place now and then should stick to canvas.
Slightly tidier graffiti
Having some technical difficulties, should be rectified soon.

It just needs to be ridin a little bit. It’s fresh paint. it has a sheen to it that prevents a certain amount of abuse from the elements before it deteriorates. Like any skatable surface that i’ve painted in the past, people complain of the slickness until it gets a couple good sessions and a good rain.
Be careful for a bit.

Looks cool. Special kind of paint?

Not really. It Sherwin Williams Superpaint with a Satin finish. It’s more durable than flat paint, but it does remain slick for a while and a little shiny. The best thing for that place would be a water-bourne epoxy paint. real durable, not so slick. only cost between $65-90 a gallon compared to the stuff we used that ran me about $65 total.

I love the picture above. It almost looks like a painting.

So how much paint does it take? Maybe we could find a way to buy the good paint next time. SPS?

Takes just under 5 gallons, but epoxy paint may have a different coverage rate. It’s probably the same amount. I’ll do a little research.

funny thing i painted some skate able stuff before (Tim Kula’s Bowl)and I found that the indoor FLAT latex paint works best.
Personally i go for the “oops Paints” because they are cheaper.
you just have to get a bit tricky on your design and work with what is available.
But yeah the indoor stuff actually wears out faster witch is a good thing. it was also stickier than broken in skate lite.

I only paint that thing to make dudes bummed. Same with painting or powerwashing Burnside.
Also, both involve a color / paint selection process that includes the following criteria: That’s what was made available.
