@@iamdetour hey brother what product is best to protect a cement wall mural, and a metal door garage mural… I’m in France so hopefully I can find what ever you suggest

[@ayokarz]

Wowwww the white truly helped

[@iamdetour]

It definitely did

[@chuckvanderbildt]

This looks like so much fun!

[@iamdetour]

It was!

[@Nikkolecw]

I could've really used this info last year for my road murals haha! Thank you for this video!

[@iamdetour]

Glad it was helpful!

[@simini1837]

Results are totally cool!

[@iamdetour]

Thanks a million!

[@lilsieg1998]

This is SUCH a helpful video...I just got a mural project where I'm gunna be painting on asphalt and it was so hard to find a concise list of supplies needed. Thank you so so much & the final work is awesome!!

[@lexc.7991]

Your videos are amazingly educational and informative!! New subscriber. Can’t wait to look into your prints as well.

[@iamdetour]

Welcome aboard! Hope you learn as i share the skills and knowledge im gaining through this art journey. definitely throw out suggestions for videos for questions you may have about art.

LOVE your pavement art! I'm in a tiny rural community where kids are bored and do roadshow stunts for entertainment, even in residential neighborhoods. I'm wondering how the paint is standing up to rubber marks and if the paint has had any kind of traffic calming effects in the neighborhood where you did it. Thanks for the awesome video, it is inspiring to see you work. The wall murals on your website are incredibly beautiful. Thanks for sharing your art with us.

[@iamdetour]

Thanks for watching!

[@LorraineRilling]

This is amazing!

[@AishasArt]

Amazing work 👏 and thanks so much for sharing the process 😀

[@iamdetour]

My pleasure 😊

[@blahber222]

thanks for the tips my man!

[@iamdetour]

Any time!

[@janburch3923]

Going to check out the Toughcrete. I usually prefer SW Duration but the next mural is on an indoor concrete pool wall that will be splashed. SW said I needed to use epoxy, not a fan of that🙈

[@EternalResonance]

much appreciated n well done

[@iamdetour]

No problem!

[@TimeLapseCameras]

Yet another outstanding video. Great pops of color and your information/experience is spot on man.

[@iamdetour]

Much appreciated!

[@jazmineleblanc8266]

Interesting, I might try putting down a white primer below a yellow paint next time I do an asphalt installation. I don't like using yellow because it's usually the first color to pull up if people drive on it, but I'm interested if with a white primer instead of a clear primer, if yellow would hold up better to tire marks.

[@iamdetour]

You should definitely use primer!

[@stephaniesalvucci9798]

love this no parking area - has it lasted?

[@iamdetour]

I haven't been back because this area was a part of a neighborhood that was in a devastating fire shortly after i completed it. A ton of houses were lost and they block much of the area from people that didn't live there.

[@pr1me840]

Can you update us on how this project still looks?

[@janburch3923]

I need to get over to Superior and checkout your work! Of course it is awesome art but I am very interested in the condition/durability. Really like your selection of materials. I painted a street mural in2011 and would like to explore a repaint with knowledge from your experience.

[@favoredone1217]

Definitely subscribing! Awesome! This looks like Colorado. Have you ever done any small lettering (3-4”) on asphalt? What would you use?

[@iamdetour]

Not yet! i would probably use the asphalt marking paint so that its a little more durable. that can also be found at a place like home depot or lowes

[@favoredone1217]

I really appreciate it!

[@mousydevilla]

Would you happen to know if the Kilz 2 all purpose be compatible to use with H & C Heavy Shield ?

[@juliephilabaum3113]

I am currently planning a street mural. How long did the primer take to dry? Have you had to retouch up a mural that you had already used the anti-graffiti coating on? Thank you!!

[@eazyyokeart]

Primer takes 1hr to dry

[@rachaelbertholino2849]

Hi and thanks so much for uploading this! Looks awesome!! I'm going to do a mural project at an elementary school on the blacktop (asphalt). How is this piece holding up with time? Thanks again!!

[@paigejohnson1063]

I'm doing a street mural for a mall, but they want it gone after summer... Is there a way to remove it after? Thanks so much for this vid!

[@iamdetour]

Yes. I believe you can sand blast it and there are other ways but i think that is done by professionals.

[@kimbailey3232]

Have you even paint a mural on house siding I want to paint a abstract mural on the side of my house where the deck is any advice

[@iamdetour]

I haven't painted a house siding yet,

[@behindthescenes3903]

Hello :) How long does it take for the vandleguard to dry? I am finding conflicting info online. Can cars drive on it after 24 hours of dryig time? Thanks!

[@bobbygranito9475]

So now thats its close to a year HOW did the uv and anti-griffiti protection coating hold up?

[@iamdetour]

Weirdly enough i haven't been back recently because of the large Boulder County wild fires that happened in that neighborhood. the fires took out so many houses there and leveled some neighborhoods.

[@thechattypress7151]

Curious if you used anything to keep it from getting slippery when wet? Working with my town on a proposal for asphalt art and that is a concern for them.

[@iamdetour]

I used a stain on many of the horizontal murals that people walk on because it is absorbed into the concrete and doesn't need anything else like a topcoat.

[@thechattypress7151]

@@iamdetour thanks! appreciate the info!!!:)

[@eazyyokeart]

I’ve seen some paint made for outdoor basketball courts that’s anti slip

[@markanthony523]

Did you tint the Tufcrete stain with the Behr colors?

[@iamdetour]

You can have the tuffcrete tinted at the paint shop when you purchase it.

[@fancieterrell2977]

What type of paint would you have used if it was in street traffic?

[@iamdetour]

i used the tuffcrete stain. it works great. you can also try the Patio Paint. i thin benjermin moore makes that.

[@behindthescenes3903]

@@iamdetour Does the toughcrete stain act like a grip?

[@reggiechandler9506]

Awesome work brother. Did you use flat or satin finish? ✊🏾🖤

[@iamdetour]

Thanks! I used a flat finish and the top coat has a flat/matte finish as well

[@reggiechandler9506]

@@iamdetour awesome. Thanks!

[@BelovedANU]

Does anyone have a suggestion for the best way to transfer a design onto the ground ? I've done wall sign before and used a projector at night. Just curious for on the ground ?

[@iamdetour]

I would say the best way is to practice sketching with a grid and then freehand. It will help to build experience. You can also use a drone if you have access to one to step back from it and see how it’s coming out

[@BelovedANU]

@@iamdetour Hmm never thought about the drone. I'll see if I can try that. I think the grid may be the best option too

[@tulw2728]

Thank you.

[@eazyyokeart]

How did the sealer work?

[@iamdetour]

It held up thus far but i havnet been back since the wild fires that happened in the area. that closed it off for many people.

[@dhiraj.ghundare23]

Which type of paint is used

[@iamdetour]

This was mostly tuffcrete and exterior latex paint. i used primer on the first layer

[@CopeAesthetic]

I know what you mean about the tire marks! I painted a sidewalk mural and the scooter riders are leaving skidmarks all over it.

[@iamdetour]

Lol! I’ve learned if it’s on the ground, people will drive ride or drive on it no matter what.😂
