New Rockcity Climbing Wall Paint is water based yet heavy duty, laying down a tough, textured film that shrugs off chalk, shoe rubber and washing. Choose eye popping reds, greens or yellows for competition routes, or subtle greys for training zones, each colour is UV stable to stop fading under skylights. Fast 1.5 hour touch dry times let you open walls quickly, while low VOC levels keep indoor air fresh for climbers and instructors.
Because this is true bouldering paint, aggregate is locked into every coat, delivering reliable grip on timber, GRP panels and concrete features. Three thin coats give the best balance of texture and cleanability; the resulting surface wears evenly, so volumes and screw ins stay rock solid without constant touch ups. Need a showpiece overhang or an outdoor boulder, the paint’s weather resistant binder resists frost and summer heat alike.
