And you do all of your work with
brushes and rollers. Why not spray?
Spraying is restricted in refineries,
but in neighborhoods, like on this
job, if I sprayed we would have aqua
rooftops and cars. It would be a mess.
The paint I use costs $400 per gallon,
so I can't waste it. A two-gallon mistake
costs $800. But, [the Tnemec Series
700] paint is very durable and high
gloss. It also has a very long lifespan.
Since this tower is spherical, how
do you transfer your design onto
it and account for perspective and
composition?
WITHERING HEIGHTS Even the comparatively simple tasks of roughing in
background colors and attaching patterns with magnets are fraught with
increased complexity at 180 ft. off the ground.
That was tricky. Like, for the turtle,
I cut a pattern using Tyvek sheets,
and attached it with magnets. Then
I got down and looked at it from a
mile away, and from there the turtle
looked too small. I made a turtle
pattern that was twice as big. The
bigger pattern used 16 sheets of 9 x
14-ft. Tyvek, and the turtle ended up
40 ft. long.
Using the patterns is funny. It takes
a full day to attach the pattern to the
tank. One day the public sees a white
turtle, then the next day it's gone.
People don't know what's going on.
Are there any other challenges
when painting on a globe?
On a tank, everything is distorted. I
paint down onto the top of the tank,
