I asked this to a contractor at 23rd St ![(1)]()
about three months ago but I guess it wasn't a fair question for him.
Acrylic paint has a high luster and shine, but is highly vulnerable to the elements which the subway cannot get over easily.
A great many dollars go to waste when your paint can't hold up, and more so, you break your backs for nothing at all. Sisyphean effort, as it's called.
Have you guys ever used other paints? Rusting and peeling can be averted using an enamel. Enamel is cheaper than paint and you would have to paint less often.
