Tina Jones -- Question dated 12/22/2020: We noticed that for Bid Alt 7, the Graffiti Wall, there is no indication if there will need to be paint or if it is just a plain steel wall. Please advise. Response dated 12/23/2020: This will be a chalk graffiti wall for the kids and serious artist alike. Finished product will be corten steel only.
