Alexandria, Indiana - World's Largest Ball of Paint Visited this with my husband and four kiddies on August 30th. The building the Ball is housed in is really impressive. We added coat #21,330, blue, and had fun doing so... it's a lot bigger than I thought it'd be! It was a great experience, and I recommend it to anyone in central Indiana! [Heather Gard, 09/07/2008]
Alexandria, Indiana - World's Largest Ball of Paint My cousin and I went to see this attraction located in the middle of nowhere, countryside Indiana. I was very excited leading up to the event, as we had planned it for a number of weeks. I called and spoke to the owner [Michael Carmichael] to set up an appointment, and he was very friendly. It was exciting for us to choose which colors we wanted to paint the ball, and even got a small piece of it to take home with us.
The Carmichael's were extremely friendly and willing to share their story with us. I would suggest for anyone to go see this attraction, and add to it's growth by painting their own layer on the ball! The Carmichael's are pretty much local celebrities, and I have been sharing this story about the ball of paint with all my friends! [Melissa, 04/12/2007]
Alexandria, Indiana - World's Largest Ball Of Paint On 8/12/2006 I used the World's Largest Ball of Paint to propose to my beautiful, soon-to-be Wife. We painted on layer #20,015 together along with a bunch of friends who helped me surprise her. Mike Carmichael and his family had a big part in preparing the Ball for me in advance (I had them write "Jill will you Marry Me?" on the Ball).
Too fun -- wish I could have had all of you Roadside Fanatics with me on our very special day. [Timothy Bark, 09/09/2006]
This ball of paint is not complete and still growing. [Greg Brown, 12/06/2000]
