Why not just use regular acrylic paint? Asphalt is a petroleum-based product which means acrylic will not stick to the surface. You have to use pavement-specific products or it won't last. That being said, there are still many choices for painting pavement, curbs and other areas of a parking lot or roadway. Here’s a look at your choices.
Water-Based Parking Lot Line Paint
Water-based paints are the environmentally-friendly choice because they don’t contain harmful VOCs or other chemicals. They are also the least expensive choice. Keep in mind many areas have created laws stating the only acceptable paint types are water-based. If your state or area has this law, don’t fret about choosing between water- or oil-based; the decision has been made for you.
Cleaning up water-based paints is easy — no solvents required to clean up a spill or a paint sprayer after use. Water is all it takes.
Water-based paints can be used in sprayers without fear of clogging. The solvent-based paints can be used in sprayers, but clogs are more likely to form. There are ways to protect against clogs, of course, if you decide to go that route.
There is also regular and fast-dry striping paint. Even the regular dries faster than most other types, but the fast-dry dries to "no-track" in as little as two minutes. With fast-dry paint, you can ensure you won’t have tires tracking wet paint all over your parking lot.
Oil/Solvent/Alkyd Asphalt Paint
Some sources refer to all of these paints as “alkyd-based”. Alkyd is a synthetic resin that’s used as a binder and it’s present to some extent in all solvent-based paints. “Solvent-based” is a more accurate term.
Some of the disadvantages of solvent-based paint were mentioned above: more difficult to clean up, more likely to cause clogs and it takes longer to dry. They are also more expensive than water-based paints.
The main advantage (and probably the only reason this type is still on the market) is that solvent-based paints may be more durable. There are two main types of solvent-based paint: regular and high-performance.
High-performance paint is used in high traffic areas. For example, the maintenance staff of the NASCAR race track in Daytona uses high-performance pavement paint.
The regular type of asphalt paint is also referred to as Type I and is used by pretty much anyone in the business of painting pavement, except by those who choose water-based for its advantages.
Don't be discouraged from using water-based striping paint for fear that it won’t last as long. The thing to remember is that proper asphalt maintenance demands regular sealcoating. With high-traffic parking lots, that will be at least every three years, and more likely every two. Sealant is black and will erase your parking lot lines, so you will need to repaint every time you seal the asphalt. Even if the lines were still clearly visible before, they won’t be after sealing!
Why Choose Our Asphalt Paint?
Navigating a parking lot can be chaotic without clear lines to guide the way. But did you know using ordinary striping paint on asphalt can lead to early wear, fading and frequent reapplications?
Enter Asphalt Kingdom's Parking Line Paint. Tailored specifically for asphalt surfaces, this product stands apart from regular paints in several distinct ways:
Stunning Vibrancy. Ordinary paints fade quickly on asphalt, but our asphalt paint boasts a brilliant hue that remains vibrant even after heavy use and exposure.
Unrivaled Durability. Regular paints peel or chip, especially in high-traffic areas. In contrast, our formula sticks to the asphalt, resisting wear and tear to ensure longevity.
Cost-Efficiency. Think of the time and money wasted re-striping with inferior paints. With our specialized paint, reapplications are minimized, leading to substantial long-term savings.
Safety First. Clear parking lines are paramount for safety. Our paint ensures lines remain visible, reducing confusion and potential mishaps in parking areas.
Don't compromise by using ordinary paint on your valuable asphalt surfaces. Opt for the best, and let Asphalt Kingdom's Parking Lot Line Paint transform your parking areas into well-defined, durable and safe spaces.
What are the Different Asphalt Paint Colors?
- White parking lot paint is your most common asphalt paint color and for good reason: its bright white color contrasts very well against dark black asphalt and gray concrete. This color paint is ideal for parking lines, arrows, road lines and stenciling.
- Yellow traffic paint is fairly common in parking lots and on roads. Yellow also contrasts well against dark asphalt.
- Red curb paint is used specially for fire lane curbs and no parking curbs, and can be used for other stenciling. Some companies may like to use red in their parking lots for branding purposes.
- Blue asphalt paint is most known for being used for handicap parking spots and handicap stencils.
You can shop all our available paint colors by shopping our paint products by type and then choosing your color and quantity.
Can you Paint Fresh Asphalt?
Just installed a new asphalt parking lot and wondering if you can paint it right away? It's best to wait a while before painting.
A newly installed asphalt pavement hardens within a few days, but it can take months for it to fully cure. To be safe, you should wait at least two weeks up to a month before applying water-based or oil-based asphalt.
Look Specifically for Asphalt Paint
Remember when you are shopping to look for pavement paint, or traffic paint, on the label. No matter which type you choose, they are formulated specifically to adhere to your pavement. All-purpose paints will not do the job. All your effort will bubble, peel and wash away in short order when you use any old paint instead of line striping paint.
