Chrome Paint Out


Bandon Monday Plein Air Paintout for May 5, 2014    10 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.  

Meet at the old ‘Chrome Plant’ near the intersection of Highway 42 and North Bank Lane, between Coos Bay and Coquille.  See the attached map for a visual reference.

From Bandon and south take 101 north to the North Bank (Coquille) exit on your right (just past the recycling center on your left).  At the T junction turn left to Coquille.  The factory is on your right, the first driveway after the last bridge, it is less than 1/2 block before 42 south joins hwy 42.

From Coos Bay and north take 101 to the Hwy 42 off ramp on your left.  Turn right on North Bank Rd (just before the shingle factory).  The chrome factory is less that 1/2 block on your left. 

You will have to drive to Coquille for restroom facilities and bring a lunch or drive to Coquille.  Hope to see you there.
