This article discusses a baseball that a man named Mike Carmichael has applied over 18,000 layers of paint to. Carmichael, is a 57-year-old housepainter from Alexandria, Ind. Carmichael says that when he was in high school, he was playing catch with a pal when the ball got away and came to rest in some paint. Mainly time (each morning he'll paint it once and will often apply a couple of coats at night) and space (the ball has moved from a spare room to a backyard shed, and this summer Carmichael plans to build a barn to house it). One thing he no longer needs to invest in is his primary material: He recently signed a sponsorship deal with Sherwin-Williams, which supplies his paint.
