Choosing The Right Line Marking Aerosol Paint

Consider the surface type when selecting your marking paint – grass-specific formulations like Everbuild Surveyline are designed for turf applications, while hard surface paints such as Rust Oleum Hard Hat are ideal for concrete and asphalt. Check the product specifications to ensure compatibility with your working surface.

Evaluate the durability requirements for your project. Temporary markings for short-term site work require different formulations compared to semi-permanent lines for sports pitches or car parks. Consider weather exposure and foot traffic levels when assessing longevity needs.

The colour choice affects visibility and application purpose. White remains the most versatile for general marking, whilst red, yellow, and blue help differentiate between services, hazards, or designated areas. Some applications may require specific colours to meet industry standards.

Application method varies between products – inverted spray capability allows for comfortable upside-down operation, essential for continuous line marking. Look for features like adjustable nozzles and trigger mechanisms that reduce hand fatigue during extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does line marking paint last?

Duration depends on the surface type, weather conditions, and product formulation. On grass, markings typically last 2-4 weeks, whilst hard surface applications can remain visible for several months. Heavy rainfall and foot traffic will reduce longevity.

Can line marking paint be used in wet conditions?

Most line marking aerosols require dry surfaces for optimal adhesion. Apply during dry weather and allow adequate drying time before exposure to moisture. Some professional formulations offer improved wet weather performance – check product specifications before purchasing from MyToolShed.co.uk.

What coverage can I expect from one aerosol can?

Coverage varies by product and line width, but typically ranges from 50-100 metres of line per 750ml aerosol when applying standard width markings. Thicker lines or multiple coats will reduce overall coverage.
