Because of the cost of the project, sponsors had to been found, willing to pay an amount of 1500 Dutch guilders (USD +665). For this purpose two artist impressions were made by one of the art teachers of the KSE, showing the paintings along the highway. These impressions were sent to several firms at Etten-Leur with a letter to give them the opportunity to participate. These mails were, thanks to articles in the local newspapers, very succesful and in only one week time the whole financial and material base of the project had been settled. The local paint manufacturer Farball Holland b.v. donated all the paint needed, two firms of building contractors promised to take care of placing the paintings along the road. Other firms paid the money needed for all the other expenses.
