My Work Art Project

My Superintendent came to me a few months ago with an idea of painting an American flag on this 40ft container. He also wanted some kind of logo that represented who we are.

So I made a few sketches, came up with a logo and got it approved. First I had to pressure wash the container, level it, prime the are you see, add 3 coats of bright white and finally start painting the flag.

Using simple math to scale from a small existing flag, then sizing the stars and lettering correctly and ordering from the vinyl graphics shop.

Took me 5 days in the hot sun, was a lot more difficult than I previously thought.

Because our shop is the smallest of the 4 facilities in the county is the meaning.
