Paint a room by covering the floors/windows/doors and then completely filling the room with paint

I've lived in apartments thar I swear were painted that way.
CoderJoe1@reddit
The full immersion method.
Scrangdorber@reddit
What if instead of filling the room, you sprayed paint everywhere.

I'd love to see you make this an art installation. It would be funny as fuck. You'd have to make your own paint but it would get clicks

I present you a better idea. Along the same lines but different.

Is it Mr Bean?
Yes it's Mr Bean!

That was exactly the sketch I thought it would be.

I came here to mention that sketch, was not disappointed.

You have to use the same paint they use for RV roofs that is a EPDM coating, let it “flash” then proceed with that “landlord paint” that is like diluted Wite-Out

Paint is around $65 per gallon. It takes 7.48 gallons to fill one cubic foot. A 12'x12' room with 8' ceilings is 1,152 cubic feet. (1,152x7.48)$65= $560,105. That's $100,000 more than the average home cost in the US.

But you can reuse the paint for thousands of rooms, you just have to top it up slightly after each room.

Tape will not keep paint out under these circumstances, but let's pretend that it does. How do you remove the paint from the room?
GoonTime2@reddit
From the ceiling where you poured it in, duh
reheateddiarrhea@reddit
Ah, so a serious roof and ceiling repair would be required.
GoonTime2@reddit
Just include a free roof with every full-house painting, problem solved
flip314@reddit
Nevermind the tape, the floor and walls are not going to contain that much paint. Making this... a crazy idea.
I approve
Kevinator201@reddit
Side note: if a gallon of paint weighs on average 10 pounds according to Google, that’s around 86,000 pounds of liquid in the room. I don’t think many places can support that much weight
reheateddiarrhea@reddit
Agreed. That is an absurd amount of weight to throw on the joists and foundation.

You’re saying it would be better to just have one big communal vat of paint, and everyone dips their room in the vat?
Anubis-Hound@reddit
But the paint will look all melty when it dries :(
