I've got a customer that wants an indoor basketball court on concrete with the same material they put on tennis courts. What type of material would this be and where can it be purchased? Any additional information would be appreciated as well. Thanks

Rock Many times an indoor basketball court at a school is a rubber base much like a running track. Talk to the Athletic Director and Administration and get as much information as you can. If it is this type of surface (running track), use a high quality acrylic (latex paint).
I think you are talking about an acrylic coating like used on outside tennis courts. It will work on an indoor concrete surface, but I would be concerned about adhesion. If the surface is steel trowel finished, I would want to acid etch and pressure wash first or better yet, shot blast. This is the material I use: http://www.vancebrothers.com/products-sportcoatings.html
I just completed a mall. It had 186 arrows! All DOT size with multiple turn lanes etc.... I did them all myself! My helper is still in school. I gave up on using a stencil. I used blue painters tape and flew through them in only 8 hours. The 12" tip is great for doing the tails. I lost 4 cones to commuter buses. they have a way of eating cones, and stripers as well.When I was done the ops manager told me he forgot to tell me they wanted glass beads this year. I told him it was a bit to late. I was not about to repaint all those arrows. Have a good season fellas!!!!
If i was doing curbs all day and tilting up the machine, I would certainly look at getting a lighter machine, maybe the 6900 titan, great machine, and you can you can use it's one disadvantage to your advantage it's very light at the front its almost begging to be tilted!
