Palm Desert Traffic Signal Cabinet Painting Proposal - jeni Bate
Materials
I have noted the request to paint the cabinets with One Shot airbrush paint, however I would like to
paint the cabinets using high quality artists'acrylic paints(e.g. Golden, Liquitex).
For the prep work prior to the acrylic painting, I recommend light sanding, two coats of Kilz-2 and a coat
of high quality artists'Gesso.
For uv and graffiti protection I recommend the city apply two anti-ultraviolet/graffiti protection coats of
SEI Chemical GFA 300 Graffiti Proofer to all painted areas.
I have completed a cabinet for the City of Indio using the same materials so I know that painting on
metal cabinets with this kind of paint will work.
My reasons for not working in airbrush are threefold. The kind of effects that I can create with brushes
(and wish to create for my skscapes) I have not seen produced with an airbrush, I don't have space in my
studio to practice without making altogether too much mess and i find it very difficult to wear face
masks due to claustrophobia.
Design for Town Center Way/Fred Waring Cabinets
This pair of cabinets I propose to do two skyscapes—each of which extends between the two cabinets,
joining them visually. (see jenibatetowncenterwaysides.jpg)
As the larger sides of the cabinets have an east and west aspect, on the east sides(viewer facing west), I
would paint a sunset that spans the two boxes and extends about half way around the sides of the
cabinets. (see jenibatetowncenterwaysmallfront.jpg and jenibatetowncenterwaylargefront.jpg) On the
sides of the boxes facing west I will paint a dawn spanning the two, and merging with the sunset on the
sides. (see jenibatetowncenterwaysmallback.jpg and jenibatetowncenterwaylargeback.jpg)

Palm Desert Traffic Signal Cabinet Painting Proposal - jeni Bate
Materials
I have noted the request to paint the cabinets with One Shot airbrush paint, however I would like to
paint the cabinets using high quality artists' acrylic paints(e.g. Golden, Liquitex).
for the prep work prior to the acrylic painting, l recommend light sanding,two coats of Kiiz-2 and a coat
of high quality artists'Gesso.
For uv and graffiti protection I recommend the city apply two anti-ultraviolet/graffiti protection coats of
SEI Chemical GFA 300 Graffiti Proofer to all painted areas.
I have completed a cabinet for the City of Indio using the same materials so I know that painting on
metal cabinets with this kind of paint will work.
My reasons for not working in airbrush are threefold. The kind of effects that I can create with brushes
(and wish to create for my skscapes) I have not seen produced with an airbrush, I don't have space in my
studio to practice without making altogether too much mess and i find it very difficult to wear face
masks due to claustrophobia.
Design for Town Center Way/Fred Waring Cabinets
This pair of cabinets I propose to do two skyscapes—each of which extends between the two cabinets,
joining them vi5ually. (see jenibatetowncenterwaysides.jpg)
As the larger sides of the cabinets have an east and west aspect,on the east sides(viewer facing west), I
would paint a sunset that spans the two boxes and extends about half way around the sides of the
cabinets. (see jenibatetowncenterwaysmallfront.jpg and jenibatetowncenterwaylargefront.jpg) On the
sides of the boxes facing west I will paint a dawn spanning the two,and merging with the sunset on the
sides. (see jenibatetowncenterwaysmallback.jpg and jenibatetowncenterwaylargeback.jpg)
