Parking Spot Painting

Attention, Seniors! It's time to choose and paint your parking spot for the 2026-27 school year!

PAINTING PROCESS STEPS

For reference, here are the key steps:

1. 1. Complete the Painting Contract and submit along with your planned design

   2. Pay the fee by buying a parking package at the Vista Ridge Project Grad Store

   3. Purchase a parking permit from the school by completing the steps on the VRHS Parking Permit Application

   4. Once you have done all the steps above (submitted the required info, paid the fee, purchased a parking permit from LISD), and your design is approved by an AP you will receive an email with the link to select your spot

PAINTING SCHEDULE

Painting day will be Saturday & Sunday, August 1 & 2, 2026 staring at 7am. After this date, painting is done on your own time, once your design has been approved and you have selected your spot. 

NOTE: Your approved design and all payments must be submitted by Wednesday, July 29, 2026 at 11:59pm in order to start painting on August 1. 

You can still purchase a spot after July 29, however, you'll have to paint after August 2 (once your design is approved).

PARKING LOT PHOTOS FOR REFERENCE

PAINTING DAY - Suggestions for things to bring 

• Canopy/Shade - It gets hot out there

• Water to drink, possibly snacks and a cooler

• Sunscreen

• Chairs for breaks

• Gardening pads to sit on while your painting

• Broom - to sweep off your spot so your paint/primer adhere

• Tape measure, yardstick, and/or rulers

• Blue tape for masking 

• Chalk for marking

• At least a gallon of your base color or primer - There's lots of divots in the pavement so it takes more paint to cover a parking spot than the same size interior wall. 

• Appropriate amounts of your other colors

• Paint can opener

• Roller frames and rollers (deeper nap rollers will fill the concrete more easily)

• A long pole that screws into the roller frame handle (your backs will appreciate this for painting large areas)

• Paint tray and liners for switching colors

• Rollers, brushes, and trays of various sizes depending on your design.  Plastic take out trays work well for small rollers.

• Stencils and or templates if appropriate

• Buckets, water, paper towels, and trash bags for clean-up
