油漆部 Painting & Fiber team
May 19, 2025
I met Kan sifu (master), the man who is responsible for painting and signage designs of the trams, just outside the control area at the depot. As we chatted, he mentioned how he had to pass a very tough assessment to get the job back in the day. He said people are often quite surprised to learn that he paints the trams by hand with brushes – most assume the colours come from factory spray machines. What I found most interesting was his point that the best brushes are the old, well‑used ones, as they handle far more smoothly.
Together we then set about designing the logo for the fictional R&D department we’d dreamt up for this project — "Ding Lab". Kan sifu offered plenty of professional advice on both the design and the colour palette, and in the end we came up with something we were all pleased with. Afterwards, he went off to the Machining Team to cut the plates needed for the logo. We agreed to carry on the next morning.

我喺電車廠控制區外約好嘅地點，同負責上色電車及標誌設計嘅簡師傅見面。傾談之間，簡師傅提到當年應徵要通過嚴格嘅考試。佢又話，好多人聽到佢係用油刷幫電車上色嘅時候都會好驚訝，大家都以為係用工廠機器噴色。佢特別提到，最好用嘅油刷其實係用過好多次嘅舊油刷，因為畫起上嚟最順手。
我哋仲同簡師傅一齊合作設計為呢個計劃特別設立嘅虛構研發部門— 「Ding Lab」嘅標誌。簡師傅喺設計同顏色選擇上都畀咗好多專業意見，最後我哋一齊完成咗一個大家都滿意嘅設計。跟住佢就去咗機械零件加工組度切割標誌要用嘅金屬板。我哋約好第二朝早再繼續。
