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.
