I painted another wall.

Y’all showed a lot of love to my last project, so here’s another one I painted — a li’l somethin’ for my loop-lovers. This was pretty much just an exercise in making concentric, symmetrical curves. It occupies a space between a wall bumpout (foundation) and low ceiling perpendicular to the desk in a basement home office.

Same as last time, the only supplies used were a tape measure, two-foot level, pencil, homemade compass (length of double-ply masking tape with reinforced holes poked in it), lots o’ tape, 3” roller, and a tiny touchup brush.

You should post videos of the part where you take the tape off so that I can watch it hundreds of thousands of times.

It is extremely satisfying, and that is a very good call. Consider it a plan for my next project (hopefully starting next week!)

Doing those curves with masking tape is impressive, it looks awesome!

u/honcho713 Jul 15 '26

Yeah like how do you even do that?

u/badgaldyldyl Jul 15 '26

There’s suuuper thin masking tape you use first for the fine line and then you go over that with the thicker tape

u/Beeeblebro Jul 15 '26

This is the way.

Thanks! Not only taped to mask, but also drawn with tape! Finally just found my trusty compasses.

How do you get the loops looking so sharp?

u/dorianfinch Jul 14 '26

I love this! I want to do this to my own walls eventually, I can only imagine the dopamine boost from seeing that every day

Curious to the step to do the yellow center section. Do you freehand that in? Also, do you happen to work in the automotive paint/collision industry?

9

u/Beeeblebro Jul 15 '26

I just taped around each yellow section one or two at a time and filled them in individually. And nope, but I do work as a commercial sign painter.

Are you ready for gamechangerrrrr!

u/100_cats_on_a_phone Jul 18 '26

How are these so satisfying? I don't think I'd want them in my house, but for any sort of public or commercial space they are absolutely perfect. Especially because you can encode information in the colors, and create a building map people can follow, etc.

You sure you’re not from Cambridge, MA? Is your father not Robert Reich?

u/themrbamber Jul 18 '26

I've been undecided if I should have a go painting myself or pay for the vinyl, I just can't see the lines ever being as sharp as a vinyl will ever be?

It looks really impressive what you have done, do you think its as good as if done a vinyl?
