Thanks for researching paints 2bit!
I am really up for a track painting working bee, and I think we should
go with the cheaper paint. Not sure what colour - yellow or white? Needs
to stand out...
The sooner we start skating on a proper track and building our track
awareness the better.
The end of the year is fast approaching at it is HOT but I am happy to
be involved on a weekend early in the day?
Could do weekend of 26/27 Nov or 3/4 Dec - otherwise probably not free
again til Feb!
Cheers,
Axle
Here is a link to track dimensions and how to draw;

Hi All,
I rang Alice Springs Paint Supplies this week and got some info about
outdoor concrete paint. They recommended a two-pack paint (comes in
two separate tins and is mixed before application) and these are
available as water or solvent based paints. They stock Dulux brand and
recommend:
-Durebuild -- solvent based -- less durable -- cheaper $165/4L, also
available in 15L tin
-Luxepoxy ECO2 -- water based therefore slightly easier to use -- more
durable -- more expensive $395/10L
I'm not sure why they said the water based paint was more expensive
since it's actually cheaper compared to the price for the 4L tin of
the solvent based type so it doesn't seem like there's a great
difference. They did indicate that price does vary depending on the
colour that's chosen and that the darker colours can get chalkier
quicker due to heat absorption over time.
Anyway, just thought I'd start the ball rolling on getting the track
painted. Other things we'll have to think about are cleaning the
concrete prior to application, curing time required and making sure it
doesn't rain soon after.
Cheers
Lisa
