how do you paint a mural on a colourbond fence

Hi @Cabler62 

I wanted the same thing.  

Plan 

A  So this will depend on if you are art skilled as to a DIY  I would use thick acrylic brush paints, or spray cans.

B Hire an artist to do this check out their other works first.  Hire a rogue graffiti artist and put their skills into good practice.

C There are companies that make large whole wall sized printed murals if you can find one uv stable i would put villa board on the fence and glue the mural flat to that.

Well that is a work in progress for me too.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Cabler62. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about painting a mural.

If you're comfortable using spray cans, they might actually be a great option for painting a mural on your Colorbond fence. Spray paint can provide smooth coverage and is perfect for creating bold, clean lines or intricate designs. The key to a successful mural with spray cans is preparation. Start by cleaning the fence thoroughly to remove dirt, grime, or rust, as this will ensure better adhesion of the paint. 

Using stencils can help if you want to achieve a particular design or pattern with more precision. Spray cans give you flexibility with layers and detail, and if you're already experienced with this medium, it could be a fun and efficient way to bring your vision to life. If you’re new to it, it might take a little practice to get the technique right, so testing on some scrap surfaces first can help build confidence.

For a more controlled approach, you could also use masking tape for sharp edges or to section off parts of the design, helping you create a neat and professional-looking mural.
