A 3,200 sq. ft. logo had to be painted in front of the Media Center at Talladega Speedway in Alabama. Because people would be right next to this thing, I wanted "crisp" edges. TAPE the edges!, but how do you work it into the asphalt?

Larry Orr invented the tape dispenser (top photo), then I proceeded to make a Giant Rivet Brush! I'm too old to bend over all day, and I'll be damned if this thing didn't work!

Sign Painters...ya gotta love em [Smile] Meeting and beating the challanges often become fun times. Was that "rivit brush" used in a "moonwalk" fashion?

George, I didn't do the "moonwalk". Since I had it on one shoe, I found you couldn't brush too fast...............started to spin in circles!
