Why Rainbow Crosswalks A Pot of Gold?
Painting a rainbow crosswalk combines artistry and precision, which can make it seem costly despite not requiring excessive labor. The pricing reflects the intricate process of working with multiple colors and ensuring each section is flawlessly executed.
The Process Explained
- Color Complexity: The vibrant colors used in rainbow crosswalks require careful preparation. Each color must be meticulously taped off to create clean, defined edges. I recommend chalking the lines out and measuring 12'' wide for each coloured bar.
2. Efficient Techniques: We use fast dry water-based paint that dries in just 5 minutes or less, allowing us to optimize our workflow and get vibrant traffic paint compairing to oil based traffic paint tints.
3. Taping Methodology:
Tape using 36mm wide rolls and only one side if bars are larger than roller (10'') to eliminate needing to tape both sides and waste time. Typical crosswalk bars are 12'' per coloured bar, so if you can tape only one side each coat, it will save lots of time.
- Time Efficiency: With our streamlined process and the fast-drying properties of water-based paint, a typical rainbow crosswalk can be completed in just 1.5 to 2 hours.
5. Price: $12 - 19 per square foot based on location, size and design.
By understanding the techniques and reasons behind the costs, clients can appreciate the artistry involved in creating vibrant and safe rainbow crosswalks. This investment not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the area but also promotes inclusivity and community spirit.
