What Paint Should You Use for Parking Lot Striping
When striping a parking lot or EV charging station, we recommend water based acrylic traffic paint. Aim for paint with standard traffic finish, fast drying, and thermoplastic. Picking the right paint for parking lot striping can be the difference between a good job and peeling, short lived paint. Make sure to not use latex paint because it won’t bond to asphalt. If you have questions about the right paint to use when striping a parking lot, consult with a contractor. In addition to the types of paint, make sure you use the correct colors such as yellow and white depending on where the striping is. If you are unsure of what color striping paint to use, feel free to reach out for a quote on our services.
Signs Your Lot Needs Re-Striping
As ADA inspectors and professional parking lot stripers, we encounter many parking lots that should re-stripe their parking lot. If your paint is visibly fading, showing signs of wear, has incorrect placement, or has not been updated in decades, we definitely recommend updating your parking lot. In addition to the increased property condition, parking lot stripes help traffic move better while improving the customer experience. For high traffic areas, we recommend a typical cycle of 1-2 years. If you have any questions about a restripe parking lot job, please reach out and talk to a parking lot stripe expert.
Why In-House Striping Costs More Than It Saves
We are happy to provide guidance when it comes to striping, but at the same time as professionals and business owners, we don’t recommend doing your striping in house. Machine rentals, premium costs on paint instead of bulk pricing, experience, and time lost are all costs you’ll encounter when going the DIY route with parking lot striping. Our team carries insurance and can warranty the work we do. Not to mention, experience plays a huge role in the job. Your costs could likely be more if you do the job incorrectly the first time, you may end up paying for it twice.
How to Choose a Parking Lot Striping Company
The best way to pick a parking lot striping company is based on knowledge, experience, and cost. Make sure to look for companies like ADA Access Consultants, who are licensed and insured. Additionally, a specific knowledge for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is needed because the most important part of your parking lot striping is the risk you have of proving ADA parking. In addition to skills and knowledge, companies like ADA Access Consultants also do ADA inspections so they are able to give competitive pricing because of our volume.
What to Expect on Job Day
When Striping parking lots, the job consists of prepping and cleaning the surface. From there we’ll lay out our stencils and tape down and areas for overspray. Next, we use our paint sprayer machine to cover all the necessary areas. From there we wait for it to dry and do any needed corrections by brush.
