I have a customer who wants me to paint some graphics, etc. on a gym floor that is rubber. Any ideas on paint to use? It has been done before with one shot, but didnt hold up too well.

John, I forget the name of the paint that you need, but it's one of those kind that you need to add a catalyst to it for bonding. Very strong smell, we had to have fans going to drift the fumes away. I did one of those floors awhile back. One thing to remember is if you mix the colors, the next day it will also turn solid. Here's a shot of what a friend and myself did. Oh yeah one thing don't forget is get some good knee pads...

Cisco,

That's awesome! How were you able to get a school board to approve the expendatures for such a great piece of arwork?

In our area, the schools have to get 3 competing bids just to buy a roll of toilet paper!

What a beautiful piece of work! Have a good one.

Todd, thank you. Actually I got the job thru an Architect firm. Who designed their new floor and gave me the chief logo to paint
