I'm WORKING ON A PROJECT WHERE A WOOD RAQUETBALL COURT IS BEING SANDED AND REFINISHED. I plan to use 1-shot for the logo. Should I do my job AFTER all the finish coats or on top of the final coat?

It is best to do it after a couple of preliminary coats, then they can put a couple of finish coats on top.
Be sure to make an appointment with your Chiropractor!

I'll follow Si on this to sandwich the logo between the clearcoat and add using 1-shots catalyst or hardener if you prefer that term. Just make sure the the first finishing coats are totally dry before the logo and vice versa with the logo.

Having done a few basketball courts, I concur with the advice given so far. Definitely add the hardener, too.
Si's not kidding about the chiropractor. This can be tough work!
You'll want to get some kind of knee pads. I also rig up something for the palm of my left hand (my non-painting hand) because you'll find you're always leaning on it and after a few days of painting, it can go numb on you. I've used padded bicycle gloves and taped foam knee pads over them.

I'm using hardener, definitely. I just found out the client is already putting down finish coats and I'll have to do my part after they are done. Poor scheduling. I'm confident I'll be o.k. going on top of everything.Thanks KAREN

No you won't be OK. One Shot is going to wear off that court. Also, large graphics might cause another problem. Court urethane is formulated with a specific amount of coefficiant of friction. Basketball shoes are made to work with that friction. One Shot on top of the urethane could end up way too slippery or vice versa resulting in a lot of ticked off players.
If you can't paint before the topcoats go on, I'd warn your customer about the possible problems of paint on top. It could be a nightmare.

David, Thanks for the call and the heads up on the court. I am going to get the necessary info. on the finish product in order to proceed. I will caution myself on the one-shot. Thanks again. Karen

Karen, you're not going to add the logo between the clearcoats or did I read this wrong?
