Exterior Walls Making tilt-up, pre-cast concrete walls for the MBX structure created several challenges. One thing to do was was to get the textured look of pre-cast and that was solved with "Rusteoleum" Textured spray paint in the color beige. The building walls had several blue bands running horizontally along the walls and I did not believe masking would solve the problem so I decided to laminate the walls. I would have a thin piece of 0.015" backing and to that I would glue pre-painted strips of styrene. This laminating technique also solved another problem of cutting very square dock doors. Where ever there was to be a dock door I left out the laminate. Using a Chopper permitted me to get very precise and square door edges. The photo below shows all of the components that made up a wall.
The next photo shows a piece of more the eight feet of stock wall material used in making the building.
