Caution! Things to consider

  • Allow for off site parking for 24 hours while application occurs
  • Weather must be dry 24 hours prior to painting.
  • Zone marking paint is dry to touch in 30 minutes.
  • Safe to drive over stripe after 1 hour at 50°F
  • Avoid rainfall for 4 hours at 50°F after re-striping
  • Line strippers can be difficult to locate at rental yards. We do see them for multiple application uses. Plywood guides and a 3 inch or 4 inch roller cover are very efficient.
  • Stencils for letters, numbers, and symbols are available online through Titan.
  • We also sell __________.
