I try to talk people out of spraying Light Pole Bases.
1) Concrete does not hold paint. In two years…that Light Pole Base will flake and be ugly…but you’re committed now.
2) People can still see the Base…without me painting it Yellow.
3) If I don’t paint it now…I can always come back. It’s not hard and we don’t need to clear the lot.
4) On that note…you can always hand roll. I know it doesn’t always fill the holes…in the base…but…I still council…”If it were my lot…I would leave the Bases alone”.
Good luck.

P.S. …same advice for the “Wheel Stops” = “Bumper Blocks”. Don’t get me wrong…I’ll paint them. I’ll scrape…if needed…I’ll clean up the flakes on the ground. And…I’ll do a good job. AND…I’ll bill for it.
But…”If it were my lot…I’d leave ’em alone. They look fine”.
