How to repair and paint climbing volumes

Volumes take an absolute battering in the centre so I try to recondition them where possible. You can also use this technique for your home wall.

Notes
For a even more professional grade finish get your 2 part paint in the final colour and dye the sand to match. If you go this route then you can totally skip the spraying step.

Man those are awesome! Did you make them or purchase them?

[@NateGeorge]

Thanks dude, they are from Entreprise. 2 are actually nearly 10 years old now!

[@cillijed4291]

what sort of sand do you use.

[@jip6230]

Does this apply the same with normal climbing holds instead of volumes?

[@PebelWasTaken]

for plastic, im told , use a layer of resin and then cover it in a layer of salt. once the salt dries you can put the hold in water and the salt will disolve leaving a nice texture. im yet to try it myself.
