I'm pretty sure I've just used exterior (latex?) paint the you get at Lowe's or Home Depot. Just have em color it O&M. Acts as a great sunblock and pretty much washes right off. Granted, I did it much more often when I lived in the dorms and didn't have to clean my own shower.

This times a million. Does anyone know if you can get Hokie Stone as an alumni? I've always been told/assumed you have to be building for the university to get one. I would pay a pretty penny for two pallets to build a retaining wall at my house.

Better yet, build a wall of mixed brick and Hokie Stone where the Hokie Stone is in a VT similar to how Kroger would do their boxes of sodas/beer in the Burg during football season. One could even do this when building a BBQ pit...hmmm...ideas...

I painted my Hokie Room 4 years ago. I decided not to go with Glidden, because I didn't like the Maroon, too light and bright. I can't remember the exact color I went with, I could look it up, but it was made by Behr. But here's a comparison of colors, if they are digitally correct.

Although I respect the self-confidence, it's people like this that have caused me to permanently avoid nude beaches and the clothing optional deck on cruise ships.

Haha I was looking into this yesterday. We need a lot of paint...
5 gallon buckets. Go to town.
I can look up the swatch if you want the exact orange and maroon we use in Cassell.
That would be awesome.
Here is what we use. Sherwin Williams, not glidden so this is about as close as you are going to get.
Absolutely loving having you as an insider. Now if you could just hook me up with the Hokie stone guy, my dream house can be built

In case you're wondering the offical colors are Chicago Maroon (PMS208) and Burnt Orange (PMS158). Some paint stores can match pantones.
Here are the links to the Glidden paint at home depot.

Sweet. Y'all will be able to notice us at the Bama game pretty easily. I promise.
Will you be ones painted in body paint?
Yea, but what we'll be body-painting is very TKP.
Well I think you just made it pretty obvious...
I don't know why, but when I read this topic I was hoping for a picture of Katherine Webb with a painted Bikini...
Was this what you were hoping for?
That is one of the more terrifying things I've ever seen

What an awesome question. Diehard.
