Hi All,
Quick update, if we want to minimise cost then the least amount of painting we
can do to have a skateable track are the inside and outside track lines and the
"pace" lines that are spaced every so often around the track. I've done some
basic calculations and I think we should be able to get away with just the 4L
of
paint for $165 which means it's cheaper than spending $395 on 10L but also
means
it's a solvent based paint which is a messier to deal with.
So far Breanna, Alex and Donna are available to help this Saturday 27th
November
so unless there are major issues getting paint (should be able to let everyone
know tomorrow) and assuming the weather holds that will be our painting morning.
Things we need to do beforehand:
- Purchase paint (I am happy to do tomorrow morning as Alice Paint Supplies
opens at 8am - will get yellow since that is the general consensus. If anyone
has any other ideas happy to discuss)
- Get other equipment (paint mixer, extension cord, stuff to mark out track
ie. rope, tape measure and tape, paint tray, rollers, solvent, rags, rinsing
buckets, mixing buckes - it's a two-pak paint so we should only mix up as much
as we need at a time)
- I have an extension cord, rags and one bucket I can bring that can be
used for rinsing. I'll probably get the solvent and rollers when I get the
paint
but if everyone else could email if they have any of the other stuff,
particularly a paint mixer and stuff to mark out the track that would be great.
- Let the Youth Centre know and make sure no-one needs the track on
Saturday
or Sunday morning, I'm happy to do that today.
On the day
- Check the weather
- Clean the track - not sure to what extent we should be doing this besides
just scrubbing it and letting dry, if anyone has a pressure cleaner or any
ideas
let me know. I'll also ask the paint shop.
- get painting!
As long as all goes well with the paint then this Saturday is the day - will
send out another update later with a start time and more info.
Cheers
Two bit

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
