TIPS FOR PAINTING:
- You will need to paint over the design that is currently on the boulder. The best base coat paint to use is spray paint.
- Depending on the color that is already on the boulder and the color you are using, a can of latex paint or at least 4-5 cans of spray paint are needed to provide good coverage.
- If you use latex paint for the base coat it will take longer to dry, so plan accordingly.
- To paint your design, we recommend acrylic craft paint and craft foam brushes.
Booking will open 30 days before first rental date. Only one date can be selected in a single purchase.
