1) CLEAN THE CANVAS:
Before you put any paint to pavement, you’ve got to make sure your space is clean. Start by sweeping the area thoroughly in order to prevent incomplete lines. Small rocks or debris found on your pavement being covered in paint will lead to your lines having blank spaces in them once the rocks and debris are eventually blown away or otherwise removed. And rolling over a rock with your striping machine could cause a bump in your line.
2) MEASURE TWICE, PAINT ONCE:
Our 18oz can spray paint is great for a wide range of surfaces, including asphalt paint, cement paint, and driveway paint applications. The versatility of our inverted paint can sprayer design allows for easy application on asphalt, concrete, pavement, dirt, or gravel, making it the go-to choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors.
3) WHERE THERE’S A WIDTH THERE’S A WAY:
Comply with standards using our APWA-approved construction marker colors, designed for property markers and utility marking. These vibrant, outdoor spray paint colors ensure your markings are visible and meet regulatory guidelines, making them ideal for city workers and contractors who need reliable field paint.
4) SHAKE AND SECURE:
Prior to inserting the can of road paint into the striping machine, make sure to shake the can for at least one minute. This will loosen up the paint and make it dispense more evenly during your striping. After shaking the can and inserting it into your striping machine, be sure to secure the can of road paint so that it remains in the machine for the duration of the striping process.
5) SLOW AND STEADY:
When painting on asphalt, make sure you take your time. At Fox Valley Paint, our paint for asphalt is permanent, so while this means you won’t need to stripe your parking lot again in six months like with some other brands, it will mean that you need to be extra attentive while painting on asphalt.
If you keep the above details in mind, you’ll be a parking lot pro in no time. Fox Valley Painting has all of your asphalt painting needs.
