Fresh Paint: Sign alternatives

The subway stations in Chicago are painted quite often. They hang up the same “Fresh Paint” signs everytime. Next time I’m gonna nab one, see what font is used, and make my own signs.

What would be a good phrase to put on them?

* Fresh Idea

* Fresh Start

* Fresh Season

* Fresh Fish

* Fresh Aquaint

* Fresh Evidence

* Fresh Breeze

* Fresh out of milk

* Fresh Air: Thank you for not driving

* Dry Paint

Got any other ideas? Any favorites here?

I like the Fresh Start ..makes me feel good inside. Fresh Air is kinda of nice but it makes me feel like we are talking about the National Public Radio show.

how about, “too much paint” because it’s not like they ever remove the old paint; they just slap another layer on until the railings grow in concentric circles of paintiness. sort of like trees, only largely inorganic.
