A hand-painted mural for Mission BBQ in Dover, Delaware

Here is a hand-painted mural for Mission BBQ in Dover, Delaware. We really enjoyed our day. We had fun painting the mural, and we had some great BBQ for lunch too! The staff at Mission BBQ were extremely kind and helpful to us while we worked.

Air Force Mural Mission BBQ

Thank you for your service!

This brand new Mission BBQ restaurant is near Dover Air Force Base, on the main drag in Dover, Delaware. A job like this takes a full day for two painters. The surface in this case is fairly rough, which adds a degree of difficulty. For this reason, we use a stiff brush, which works much better to cut clean lines on the rough surface of the exterior wall.

Before painting begins, we place a paper pounce pattern on the wall. The pattern leaves a faint outline of the image, so we can see where each color goes. The painting is tedious and requires a great deal of experience. We paint the colors by hand with Sherwin-Williams paint.

If you haven’t been to Mission BBQ, you’re missing out. They make great BBQ with all the traditional sides and sauces.
