After that, we tape the lines and finally we grab the brushes, rollers and line painters and start painting.&nbsp; It will take about 5 hours and 80 gallons of paint to transform an average urban playground from grey and gravelly to bright and engaging!<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day the kids will have a new playground and the PG&amp;E employees will have satisfied grins and sore muscles!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What: <\/strong>Playworks and PG&amp;E team up in honor of National Day of Service to paint two schools playgrounds.
