Paint Day:

BEFORE YOU PAINT- Important!

  • Find the volunteers
  • Show the adult volunteer your design page for approval if not previously approved by Mr. Watson.
  • Have paint approved by volunteer.
  • A volunteer will show you to your parking spot.
  • You will want to sweep your spot before painting.  If your spot has an old design on it, you will want to paint a coat of primer/Kilz on it before you paint your design.
  • Remember that you must leave an unpainted border within your spot so that all district-painted parking lines are visible.
  • Make sure you have all supplies you need.  Recommended items are listed below.

SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED:

  • Water-based, exterior latex paint– no spray paint. Plan with friends to share colored paint.
  • Paint brushes and rollers (¾” nap rollers and a long pole work best), a broom.
  • Paint can opener, mallet to close paint cans, stir stick and paint tray liners to pour paint into.  Possibly chalk for design planning.
  • Plastic or foil to lay/wrap paint brushes/rollers on.
  • Large trash bags, paper towels or rags for clean up.
  • Family and friends to help you paint, sunshade, chairs, water, sunscreen.
  • Patience!  🙂

Last step: HAVE FUN PAINTING!

Please email Mr. Watson (watsonma@cfbisd.edu) for a form to obtain a reserved painted parking spot.  Your design will need to be approved.
