Hi Juan,

You could have taken mine with you and kept it till Muncie next year.

I used Krylon Fusion, however it still comes off and you have to touch it up. It was a good bit of work to paint. Tarps are made so stuff, including paint doesn't stick to them. I tried some paint from a auto paint store that used a prep spray then paint. it was expensive and didn't stick any better than the Krylon.
The guy at the paint store said he didn't think it would stick very good and he was right.

I found some other material but it was very expensive, What I have is a pool cover tarp, do a search for round tarp. the one I have was 24' but it only measures 22'
look at the pic in the above post, you can see the foam board patterns that I used to paint the circles,
I had to make a pattern for each radius then kept moving it till I got all the way around the circle.
the radius of the first painted circle is 24" when the 12" 100 point circle is placed in the center it makes it 18" from the edge of the 100 point circle to the first painted circle. then it is 18" between each circle.
