Ilive in SO. CAL.
any tips on letting a logo on an exterior silica/acrylic surface tennis court??
If you haven't done this before you can tell me how you would attempt it.
I am thinking of a base coat of 1-shot speed dry bulletin enamel, then pouncing the pattern , cutting and rolling the logo using bulletin 1shot
Then a top coat of UV Protectant, probably 1shot. [Cool]

I'm not sure about silica/acrylic lot...this is my experience if it helps any.

I painted a tennis court for Pringle-Dixon-Pringle 17 years ago...they sent a courier over with the paint, and I don't remember what kind it was. The location to be painted was the parking lot at a fancy department store across from Lenox Square. (In down town Atlanta)

I do remember that I made patterns and it was a one time lay of the paint...sompn made for asphalt...no primers, etc. I used fitches.

At the same time it was for an annual event and I'm not sure what happened to the artwork after they took down the chainlink fence, the bleachers and used it as a parking lot again? Is your gig a permanent one? For-like-ever?

Good Luck on it!

Yeah, it's got to last at least until the surface needs resurfacing. I understand this is a couple of years. thanks,
