Give any playing field a more professional look with a painted logo.
There are certain things people expect at sporting event venues: concessions, novelty foam hands and in the case of sports such as football, soccer and track, a painted synthetic turf adorned with sponsor and team logos. If you have the proper equipment, painting a synthetic field is a relatively easy task that will leave you with a playing field fit for any sporting event.
Instructions
1. Choose a day when the weather conditions are right. The best time to paint a synthetic field is when the field is dry and the wind is low.
2. Groom the field by mowing the grass and making sure that any leftover paint from other paint jobs is gone.
3. Trace the design for the logo on cardboard. When making your design, keep it simple and avoid a design requiring many different colors or small parts.
4. Cut the logo out of the cardboard.
5. Place the cardboard on the playing field in the area you want your logo displayed.
6. Use an airless paint sprayer to paint the outline of the logo.
7. Wait for the paint to dry.
8. Use the cardboard cutouts to block off any areas you don't want painted and fill the inside of the logo in using the airless paint sprayer.
9. Avoid spraying too far down into the grass when painting your logo. Paint has the best appearance when it is on the tips of the grass blades.
10. Allow the paint to dry before using the field.
