• Leave a 6-inch unpainted border around all lines and space numbers.

• Do not paint over curbs, lines, or space numbers.

• Only approved designs may be painted. Campus Administration has final approval. 

• You will be responsible for covering/painting over your spot at the end of the year. You can pay an additional fee of $10 at the end of the year to have a school sponsored club paint over. More details and dates will be provided for this step.
