Paint Color Options

Each school is scheduled for one 40-hour paint week, consisting of four 10-hour shifts. During this designated time, Parkway Facilities' painters will paint any color the school requests, and Facilities will purchase the paint. Colors outside the standard inventory must be discussed with Facilities before "paint week" to ensure timely delivery.

If painting is done in a school at a time other than the designated paint week, and if the decision is to go with a color other than our standard choices, the paint must be purchased at the school's expense. 

Two important factors must be considered when choosing a color outside our standard colors.

1. Brightly colored paints require a minimum of two coats to cover adequately. This means it will take more time, and Facilities' paint crews will ultimately paint fewer rooms during the allocated time if bright colors are used.
2. If Parkway's standard colors are utilized, Facilities will handle the storage. Storage will be the school's responsibility if colors other than a standard color are used. Since all paints used are latex-based products, there are no special storage restrictions; however, custodial closets and mechanical rooms will not be approved storage areas for paint supplies. Other arrangements need to be made.
