    Some tips for painting the rock.
    • The most popular paint to use is to spray paint. You will probably need 2 cans for a good base coat (more if your base coat is white). Please note that, latex paint and paint that is rolled on will take several hours to dry, as opposed to spray paint, which dries in several minutes.
    Amount of Spray Paint Suggested:
    • The shape, size and texture of the rock surface various from rock-to-rock. Below, are suggestions that can be used to give you an approximation as to the amount of spray paint that you will need.
    • Rock: 2 Cans of base spray paint to cover previous message (Double this if your base coast is White).
    • Dependent upon the # of colors you want used in your message, a minimum of 1 can is needed if you elect to paint your message in one color.
    Please be kind to our environment and recycle your empty cans!
    If you aren't artistically inclined or simply don't have time to paint the Rock yourself, you can hire a local artist to do it instead! Here are a few options.
