Have you been in the student parking lot lately and wondered what those pops of color peeking out from underneath some of the senior spots are? Around 25 seniors came to Mountain Lakes High School on September 22–yes, a Saturday–willingly and voluntarily to spend various amounts of time to paint their beloved parking spots.
The logistics and the process might seem crazy the more you think about it. If you’re curious about how people made the spots or you’re even interested in doing it in the coming years, then take a look at this guide.
Step 1: Get yourself in the zone. If you’re like Lucie and Meghan, coffee might help with that.
Step 2: Set up all of your paints and materials. Most people didn’t have the inventory that Nolan and Charlotte had, but don’t let that discourage you.
Step 3.1: Time to sketch out your design if free-handing isn’t your thing.
Step 3.2: You can totally just go in with the free-handing too. Gives it more of that authentic graffiti experience.
Step 4: Get your paint cans open (with a screwdriver, of course).
Step 5: Paint, paint, paint!
Step 6: Get some advice from your friends.
Step 7: Make your finishing touches.
Step 8: Take in how great your parking spot is by taking pictures of it (and with it)!
