It’s Not Done Until It’s Painted – So I Painted

It’s Not Done Until It’s Painted – So I Painted

I often get asked if I am done with the job. Sometimes it is because the client doesn’t know what it is that I am doing they just see things put back together. Today was a little different because the bollards were set last week. They asked if it was done.

Well it wasn’t done yet because it wasn’t paint. The caution tape was left up so that it wasn’t hit while the concrete was setting up. When I arrived in the morning, I acid washed the posts to prepare for the final steps. I applied two coats of primer (white) and after that was asked if I was done! No not yet.

Today I applied two coats of bright yellow paint on top of the primer. This final color will allow the posts to be seen and hopefully avoided in the future. This column has been hit on a number of occasions, the bollards were installed to protect it. After the painting was done, I was asked if I was finished.

Yes, the job is done!
