PAINTING TIPS
Sweep the dirt and pebbles off the spot before you paint
Use chalk to draw out your sketch & consider making a stencil ahead of time for lettering or detailed images to save time
Bring extra plastic containers (no glass) for water and brushes
Bring a drop cloth or plastic sheeting to put under your paint cans. NO paint is permitted outside your spot, on the white lines or parking lot curbs.
Limit your paint palette as the quarts of paint are expensive or share colors with a friend.
It will take 2 quarts of paint to cover the spot if you are using a solid color.
