I don't see the question. 

The r22 paint. They say install dome get $8,000 paint gun and spray on top. Kinda scared about that aspect 

 

I can build - I can't paint 

It's not a product I am familiar with. I suspect it would be significantly easier to hire someone to spray it. Worth it if it doubles the lifespan of the skin. 
 

I'll bet it is too thick to go through standard sprayers.

No problem in hiring someone. I believe in it's better to pay Simone who knows what they are doing 

do you think hoise painter is who should be contacted? I mean who else will have high powered paint spray right ?

Build time for domes is 10 weeks 

March 15 order + 10 weeks. In that time I need to work on platforms etc 

you don't want to be here summer time - albeit not muggy like where you are. Labor Day opening would be ideal$$$$ for business 

my offer will stay. Any and all GRM stay for free

I may take you up on this for a night.  I am kicking around the idea of something similar out here.

In reply to mr2s2000elise :

No. Not a house painter. 
 

You probably need a painter who is equipped to do commercial and industrial painting. 
 

Check with the vendor for their recommendations. 

In reply to mr2s2000elise :

I'm pretty used to the heat. 
 

Actually, I may want to come see you when the build is finished, and then come a second time at Labor Day.

We may have a lot to talk about... 

How about a barn raising?

Pick a long weekend, and have a bunch of GRMers come...

In reply to SVreX (Forum Supporter) :

that'd be so cool.  cruise around Big Bear Lake as a victory lap afterwards!

This is going to be epic.  I vote for a GRM meeting where a bunch of us just take over the place for a weekend and toss money in a hat for mr2.  I know we stay for free, but that doesn't stop us from pitching in for some beverage money for our host.

I'm open to this idea.  Would be a good opportunity to learn about these in great detail.

I love this.  Long trip from PA, but they have airplanes these days.

Well, I suggested it, so obviously I'm in!! Haha!

I'm a bit skeptical of that paint. Challenge anyone selling it to paint a frying pan with it, set it on a stove burner at the hottest setting, leave it a minute there, then see if the salesman is willing to put his hand on it.

In reply to MadScientistMatt :

I think that is well beyond the intended purpose of that stuff. 

Can't wait to see these once they are assembled!

I might be available for this lol

That's how R value is measured though (roughly)

I think the key here is the word 'equivalent'.

In reply to ProDarwin :

A hand on a hot frying pan??

So here’s a question is Joshua Tree near Landers? I have family there and a steamer trunk of our grandmother’s to be delivered there and a road trip is a possibility.

To be fair, that test may exceed the paint's maximum temperature. But they're claiming it's about the same insulation value as:

• 15 inches of pinewood
• 3 inches of polyurethane rigid-panel insulation
• A 5.5" thick layer of Pink Panther insulation roll

You should be able to do some pretty dramatic demonstrations with it, well beyond the "paint an egg, dunk it into water, and show it's not hard-boiled after 10 minutes." Like painting a paper cup with it, freezing the cup, then pouring boiling water in and having it not melt the frost on the outside.

A heat source, an insulation material, and a temp measurement on the other side.

In reply to ProDarwin :

What R value is third degree burns?

I don't know about that comparison. 

I agree that R-22 is a really bold claim, and sounds mighty sketchy.

Yeah, thats why I think the key is that word 'equivalent'.

R value is resistance to conduction.  It's a UV paint which reflects radiation.  I think they are trying to equate the two somehow.
