Materials: Rollers w/ Covers and Extensions Primer Blue Tape Latex Gloves Rags/Drop Cloths # TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL PREP WORK: • Before starting, carefully read through the entire instruction sheet. • Refer to the material list to the left and confirm that you have the correct amount of wood for this project. 1. Wash and clean the entire area as necessary. Indoor: Consider using a light sponge and lukewarm water. Outdoor: Pressure washing is best. Otherwise, use a hose and high pressure nozzle and scrub the surface using a sponge. 2. Let the surface dry completely before you begin priming. You will want to prime the entire mural area at least one day before Build Day, ideally with a few coats. 4. Apply painter’s tape along all the edges of the mural, and any other objects inside the mural area (such as light switches, vents, etc.) that should not get primed or painted. 3. When dark enough, use an LCD or overhead projector to project the mural design onto the wall (if available). Use a pencil or permanent marker to sketch the design that is projected. If appropriate, mark which areas should be painted with which colors. You can also sketch freehand if a projector is not available, though this requires a bit more skill.
