In most states the only thing that is legal to apply to public roads is
chalk. There is a form of spray chalk that is applied like aerosol paint
that is available from many paint stores. It comes in many colors and is
what road crews use to mark the roads. It takes a pretty long time to fade
out. If you put it on really thick it can last two years before you can't
see it anymore.

Or you can use straight up spray paint. There's still a message to Eric
Heiden up "the wall" in Philly. Oh. You said legal. Check your local
listings.

Yeah, if there's one thing that's really cool it's seeing the names of
has-beens ten years after. Eric Heiden? He makes Eric Vanderarden seem
positively modern.
