RTCA Senior Paint the Parking Lot 2018-2019

This year, senior RTCA student drivers will have the opportunity to rentandpaint/personalize a parking space on campus. The parking spaces will be rented at a cost of $40. This will include the cost of your 2018-2019 parking permit and the cost of paint to cover up the art work at the end of the year. The parking spots are limited and only seniors will be given an opportunity to paint a parking space. A map of parking spaces will be available and can be selected on a first come, first served basis. The painting days will ONLYbe on July 10th or July 24thfrom 8:00 am – 2:00 pm. A parking space design request form will be included in your packet. Your payment and the design of your parking space will need to be submitted and approved by Mrs. Dykes no later than Thursday, June 28.Your design sketch will be held and returned to you on the painting day, so make sure you know what supplies you need before you turn it in!

Guidelines for your Design (Sketch):

Think of your space as a t-shirt that you would wear to school. Keep it classy! Any design associated with gangs, drugs, alcohol, violence, obscene slogans or symbols, handicap symbols, or symbols that may cause confusion or promote illegal activities will not be allowed or approved. You may include your name, jersey number, instrument you play, your hobby, famous quotes or slogans and anything unique to you, as longs as it meets with school approval.

Paint Requirements:

WATER BASED EXTERIOR LATEX paint is the only type of paint that can be used. Students will also need to leave a 4 inch unpainted border between the white parking space lines, number and the paint in their parking spot. You will be required to use blue painters tape to ensure this border is accomplished. You may purchase WATER BASED EXTERIOR LATEX paint at retail stores like Sherwin Williams, Lowes, Handy Andy, etc. All paint will be the responsibility of the student—it will not be provided by the school.If you are going to paint the whole parking spot a base color, you will need to purchase a gallon of the paint. If a student intends to withdraw before the end of the school year, the student will have to paint the spot black before they will be cleared to withdraw.

Unapproved Paints:

  • NO oil based paints
  • NO reflective paints
  • NO spray paint
  • NO fluorescent paint

What to bring to the painting party:

Your approved design/sketch will be returned to you on paint day. You will be responsible for all paint brushes, rollers, paint pans, and painters tape. You will want to bring sunscreen, stencils, rags for cleaning, a drop cloth,broom and paint clothes. DO NOT BRING ANY KIND OF PAINT SPRAYERS OR CLEAR COAT! This will be a really fun activity and we hope to make this a great tradition for years to follow.
