- Hi, I'm Parris and as a kid,
my friends and I would use local landmarks and objects,
whatever was convenient to mark out the end zone,
the goals, the out of bounds lines
for games that we were playing.
We didn't have any lines that we could put down.
That red car over there, okay, that's the goal
and the tree over there, that's gonna be out of bounds
but now, kids and adults who like playing sports outdoors
can make their own field markings with the Spray Chalk kit.

- This may not make you play any better
but at least there won't be any confusion
about which tree is it again that's out of bounds
and what happens when the guy with the red car drives away?
The Spray Chalk kit is an As Seen on TV set
of actual aerosol spray cans of chalk
by the Testors company.
Goes for about $20.
I picked this up over at Walmart.
I believe they have it at Target as well.
You can find out more about it
at the link down below this video.
Now, unless you happen to own
one of those chalking machines,
they're sort of like a wheelbarrow that you move along
and the chalk dust comes out,
makes those nice straight lines,
this might be the next best way to go.
The limitation on it is it does cost about $20
and according to the instructions,
each can, each of the four cans gives you 80 linear feet.
Well, what's a linear foot?
It just means it's one foot in a straight line.
It doesn't mean square foot.
So if you take these four cans
and I don't know how wide the spray will be
and you use up one completely and then start the next one,
you're gonna get about 320 feet of chalk writing
in a straight line so that's,
if you're gonna do an actual football field marking,
you're gonna get one sideline done
and that's about it with this
but I think our street football games
never ran more than maybe 75 feet
as the distance of the field so this could work for that.
It also has lots of other uses just for fun.
You can use this on concrete just like regular chalk
but where this shines I expect and we'll see here shortly
is you can use it on grass and it's an aerosol spray
so it actually sprays out a fair amount of chalk.
It dries very quickly and then you have that chalk dust
stuck to the grass blades, stuck to the asphalt,
also stuck to snow.
Now, I don't have snow here to try it out
but I imagine this makes writing in the snow
quite a bit easier.
They say it's safe for plants, safe for pets.
There is a propellant in it which is dimethyl ether
and ethanol vapor so you don't wanna breathe the fumes
but once that's dissipated, it's just chalk powder.
Rain of course will clean up the chalk for you
or if you can't wait, just a regular hose and spray
are supposed to clean it up.
On asphalt or concrete, you may need light brushing
but we'll see how well this sticks
and how well it washes off.
Shake well before using.
Sounds just like a can of spray paint.
You can see the spray tip is actually fairly narrow.
Maybe we'll get some good writing out of this.
Let's give pink a try.
Whoa, that looks just like spray paint.
My handwriting in chalk is just as bad
as with pen and paper.
Here's some petunias.
Let me use them as my model
and see if I can draw a flower here in the grass.
Whoa, that spray really is,
wonder if it blows on you if you end up with a pink streak.
Looks pretty good.
Not my flower.
The quality of the chalk and how well it shows up.
This is an hour and a half later.
Not quite as vivid color but it's completely dried.
Little bit.
Yeah, it comes off on my fingers just like powder chalk.
And here's my flower after an hour and a half.
The color is supposed to stay bright for up to a week
and eventually fades to white
if you don't have some rain come along and wash it all away.
Colors can stain clothing, not sure about car paint
but I will try it on the window here left handed.
It's hard to write small
but it's possible.
I like how it looks.
It really has that graffiti style to it.
And let's see about washing it off.
Yeah, rain would do a pretty good of getting most of it.
There's still a little bit of color.
Scrubbing I guess.
Even with trying to scrub with my shoe
and spray some more the top of the E,
it seems like there's definitely some strong color in there.
It'll take a little while to fade.
From the wall over to the fence is about 50 feet.
I'm going to try out the white chalk spray
and make a solid line over there as far back as I can get.
Should be able to go one way all the way
and about halfway back before it runs out.
Here we go.
Think I'm getting low.
Yep.
That'd be the end of it.
Okay, let's see what we were able to produce with one can.
Starting there,
over to the fence and back.
Almost halfway, yep, about 80 feet worth of spray.
And if you're wondering how it looks from a little distance,
can you see it easily?
Yes, I'm in the house right now
and that line is still very distinctive in the backyard.
The only thing is it's a little bit of an expensive line
because to draw that took one whole can
which is about $5.
If you spray one color on top of the other
while it's still wet, they're supposed to blend.
So I've got yellow and blue here.
Let's make a big green leaf.
Here's a little bit different surface.
Gonna start with yellow.
Whoa, that's yellow yellow.
Okay and add blue.
Well, it's kinda green.
And these Spray Chalks are non-toxic.
I'm surprised I really haven't gotten any on me.
They're pretty good about spraying
right where you intend them to
and I haven't had any trouble with them leaking
but if you do get some on your skin,
I assume it's easy to wash off.
Don't try this at home.
Turned out cool.
Let's see if I can wash this off now.
The majority of it's coming off
but I don't know if you've ever seen Z Nation.
It's a show Roxanna especially likes.
I'm looking a bit like Murphy.
After two minutes at the sink scrubbing with soap,
most of it's gone but I've still got some Murphy tint to me.
I've never gotten chalk on my hands
or out on the driveway that's been this hard to wash off
so I'm thinking this may not just be colored chalk powder.
It may be chalk powder and paint
and they mix when they get sprayed out
and so it's acting a little bit more like paint.
They do mention colorants that are left on a surface
more than 24 hours may result in residual color
so you do have to be careful about that.
I'll have another go at washing this off in a bit.
The other kind of contradictory thing
is who's gonna have the most fun with this?
Kids obviously.
It even says, play, spray and it washes away
and the pictures on the packaging show kids
in the driveway coloring shapes,
out in the yard making designs
and yet on the back under the warnings, it says,
keep out of reach of children
and out of reach of YouTubers
who will spray it on themselves.
It's an interesting product.
I think it could be fun
but obviously it has to be used properly.
Some supervision would be a good idea
and don't get it on your clothes,
don't get it on yourself but have fun with it
out in the yard, in the snow
and out in the driveway and on the sidewalk.

I'll be back soon.
Hopefully back to my natural color all over.
