Introduction and Paint Selection

[Music] so we're gonna paint this thing and we've painted it before and i know i get some questions or i've even had some questions what the heck do you paint a slide with you mean sherwin williams doesn't have a slide-specific paint they don't it's amazing and they don't they didn't even they've never even had anybody ask them what what do paint a slide with so they couldn't give me really many answers so we kind of went around you know some different products and stuff and we did paint it previously about five years ago and i think you were involved in painting i was indeed we used multi um i think as a multi surface all surface enamel all surfaces uh high gloss all surface enamel and one of the issues is is there's water that goes down the slide but it doesn't get wet very often it's very rare and when the water slides on the the water is coming down it for a short period of time while kids playing or who's ever using it so it's not submersed you're not going down the slide i have backwards head first i guess there we go so um and the all surface or the all-surface enamel performed pretty well um did well for us it held up for about five years maybe and i didn't have any didn't have any issues didn't have any issues with water running down it or anything but now we're going to use multi-surface acrylic this time to test a different product and why is that what's multi-surface acrylic all about john multi-surface acrylic we've been told is designed for like large buildings where it really doesn't make sense to power wash or you're not able to clean them as well as you typically would clean a surface and so it's made to bond to those difficult surfaces like that in fact we've even heard a rumor from one of the reps that they've sprayed wd-40 on a block wall sprayed paint over the top of it and it actually bonded to that spot where the wd-40 was so it really it's magic if it could if it can perform magic like that it could for perform some magic and bond to this slide a killer slide so um we're going to have some fun we're going to paint it a different color and it's got a bunch of um iron stains on here hardware water stains on it kind of looks like a big skid mark going down you know the slide i'm not judging but we're gonna just spray it on so we're gonna sand it with some um sanding
