Project should include preparation of the surface, preventative coating (if needed), painting, and lining of the court with basketball lines (perimeter lines, half court line and circle, free throw lane, and free throw line). In addition to the basketball lines, we'd like the court to be marked with pickleball lines. All marking lines can be white. We want a 2-color finish on the court, with the lanes and half court circle being different color than the main court color.
