How to repair and paint climbing volumes

Volumes take an absolute battering in the centre so I try to recondition them where possible. You can also use this technique for your home wall.

Notes
For a even more professional grade finish get your 2 part paint in the final colour and dye the sand to match. If you go this route then you can totally skip the spraying step.

is acrylic paint hard enough ? Does the color disapear at a time ??

[@NateGeorge]

They are still going strong after all this time being jet washed every 5 weeks with cold water :)

Does this apply the same with normal climbing holds instead of volumes?

[@PebelWasTaken]

for plastic, im told , use a layer of resin and then cover it in a layer of salt. once the salt dries you can put the hold in water and the salt will disolve leaving a nice texture. im yet to try it myself.

[@cillijed4291]

It is a 2 part PU based paint, usually used for boats.
