Hi guys Kirk and family here with Kirk Giordano Plastering, today we are at an Elementary School in
the Piedmont area and we are applying a chalkboard paint that way the little kids don't have to hurt
their backs and right on this asphalt, they can write right on the wall. It's what we started off
with we started off with a heavy - finish and a concrete walk cept this wall was a lot worse it
had form boards all through it and what we did is we did the skip coat and we made it what we
thought was smooth and what the school thought was smooth they did a little research they came back a
month later said hey Kirk, can you make it a little bit smoother because we thought that it would be
smooth enough but now that we're reading up on the subject they wanted a wee bit smoother so we came
back and we put a smooth finish over that and so with cooperation with Troy oh man in trends they
do a lot of how-to videos and with a little bit of cooperation from Porter paints which in trends
or Troy talked to them and they donated the paint for this worthy cause just as we are volunteering
our time to do the wall why Jackie my son Jason on camera and this is what Porter paints is all about
I don't know if you guys can see these colors are they blues orange yellows reds greens for
a chalkboard I think it's kind of cool myself I would need something like this where I don't have
to bend down if I'm writing on kids they're gonna have fun on it let me tell you a little bit about
I just read this a little while ago and I could see that this Porter paints it was in Australia
bass Sydney 30 years ago now they're coming to the United States well they've been here about 15
years and they ship this paint all over the world I got this in the mail just the other day and they
said hey Jake er where the cause you and Choi will chip it in so we are applying it one thing I did
read on here they have a it's it's environmentally free we're trying to use a lot of products that
are environmentally free - it says no odors if you have any problems with asthma allergic reactions
this is supposed to be a ho doorless and just real good for you it has no VOCs what is the BL see
oh she's a biochemist me I'm just an applicator I don't know these complicated things anyway they've
researched it they took the research away from me because I don't want it so if they come up with
this paint right here then I'd recommend it also again that's Porter paints comes just like that
from Australia Len down under anyway I'm gonna get busy and I'm gonna we're just gonna paint this out
this the fellas again from the PTA they've already applied their primer so this is the last stage
before a chalkboard finish this looks like it's going on pretty easy and now I tell you you don't
have to be a rocket scientist to do this guy's I've never done it but we've all painted houses
before similar thing just like painting the house you're painting a wall doesn't get much simpler
than this that way little itty bitty kids will not have to bend down and yeah Troy Troy oh man I
thank you for getting this stuff for us I remember Troy's name because my granddaughter's three and
every time I see her come and I go oh man here comes trouble so she actually thinks that's my
name and so she what tell my wife she says where's aw man that's now remember your name Troy Troy
y'all man Annie how you can see guys that if you're gonna do this you got a prepper wall
first and they say that you can put this over wood sheetrock painted surfaces all kind of different
finishes so I would say if you're researching it do your research and find out what you can't apply
it on and what you can't in fact I'm not even sure if it's gonna take two coats what is it
Jay after two hours we can apply the next coat and then after two days it'll be dry and ready
to be used as a chalk board oh oh I knew he would know because he read the can one of us has to read
the instructions yeah yeah yep you got that right baby instructions yeah well I'm so used to all my
cement that I know how to apply them I mean what stucco is not like computers they don't change
that often but as far as this paint man it's hard to read instructions on painting when you
just take it for granted who hasn't painted a wall so they sent us enough they say for two coats what
we're doing is one coat because we're not gonna be here in two hours to do another coat but that's
where the PTA members come in they got Bradley and Mike who set this all up Bradley came over here
And over the weekend, prime this wall. What a guy
So anyhow, guys, you get the idea Porter paints is where you get this product we
are working on the school ground, and you see just how easy it is to apply this anybody can
do it well if we can do it, you guys can do it my name is Kirk I am with Kirk Giordano plastering,
my lovely wife Jacqui and of course Jason my son we thank you folks,
for watching and as usual we'll see you guys on the next one.
