A customer wants me to paint the words NO SWIMMING & NO DIVING on the cement next to the boat docks at the lake, 6" tall. How would you guys do this quickest? Pounce it & freehand paint it with a fitch, or make a mask somehow that would stick to the cement & foamie them on there?
I think i will use my One Shot. Thanks!

Bobbie, it might be a good idea to rethink the one shot paint. If this is by water chances are the cement absorbs a lot of moisture. 1-shot will form a barrier and any moisture trying to escape may lift the paint. Using a paint designed for cement in those conditions might be a better choice.

Paving paint as Kelly suggests, but be prepared to throw the fitch or roller away afterwards. Almost impossible to clean up.

Bobbie...go to a real paint store and ask for 'Parking Lot Striping Paint'.
It is a latex and you can clean up woith soap and water

And while yer there get some of those cheap chip brushes, like 29¢ each. You can trim them shorter, like a fitch, and throw them away after you fill in your pounce pattern with them. Love....Jill

Have a look at the approx 2 mm thick vinyllike plates that you can cut. Heat them and they melts to stick(at least to asphalt) They last forever

I did a whole wack of lettering around a pool a while back for out town. I used a product called stone hard that they supplied. I pounced the pattren on and simply brushed it on. I have also use traffic paint to letter on concrete and pavement, It was not the latex brand but it still worked great and comes in your basic colours that I have mixed together to make different combinations.
