I'd say you got paid very well. It's worth more because of being on your knees the whole time tho. Very nice job!!

Frank, The knees are just temporary I think the "pulling" of all the muscles and crap are the worst!!!!!! I remember as a little kid going on a march with Cesar and his clan (I didn't want to say gang!) With my parents and siblings.. Now I'm just yer average brown guy! LOL!!

Just curious- in case I ever get the opportunity to do some floor painting....You mentioned the lettering was done in one shot....did you have to clear over that and if so what did you use? Nice job by the way!

Us sign folks usually sub-contract basketball floor graphics to the flooring contractor who puts 3 coats of clear polyurethane over our work.

As Frank said.. One shot then clear coat. Out here in California the flooring contractor uses only water based clear...I just scuff up the base coat a bit with a red scotchbrite pad and paint away!!!
