Hi
I feel kind of foolish for asking but I'm having trouble finding more specific answers on google/yahoo/ bing so I hope someone can help. I've been asked to paint a mural it's an exterior wall so it's kind of rough but it's been painted white if that helps give and idea of what type of surface I'm working with. There are four 8x8 images and 3 words the letters are about 2ft tall a piece. I've assisted with a handful of murals in the past but it was quite a while ago and I'm a little nervous about what type of acrylics brushes and other supplies I need to request. The wall has already been prep'ed and now they are really just waiting on me. Please help, and thank you even if all you can do is point me to a websites with information.
