They show up primer gray. Whatever bank sends me a diagram with paint codes and vinyl/logo placement. These things are like painting a car. The paint is super expensive, they have to be sprayed, and everyone wants them stippled. The prep work takes me half a day sometimes a full. Sanding, masking, razor blade everything exact, sometimes bondo work. Some of these banks are very particular. I have had to paint logos on which really sucks. Painting one in place at a bank is horrible. Drop cloths everywhere, constantly worrying about overspray on cars and businesses. Every time I paint one I swear it’s my last. Then I finish and I’m like “damn, that looks good”. Did two this week. Painting outside in this heat with a respirator and suit is almost suicide. It was miserable. Above is the finished product. You can’t tell, but if you were to touch it, it has a textured surface from the stippling. It’s more durable to the elements.
