What to Expect on Striping Day
Prep Your Lot
Remove vehicles from the sections being striped. Mark any areas you want preserved with cones. No sweeping or washing needed — our crew handles pre-stripe cleaning with a blower.
6 AM Start (Typical)
Most commercial jobs start at 6 AM to finish before business opens. Our truck arrives with the layout plan already confirmed. Crew lead walks the lot, confirms your marked reference points, and sets up.
Traffic-Grade Application
We apply two coats of MoDOT-spec traffic paint at 15-minute intervals. The truck-mounted airless sprayer creates clean, consistent 4-inch lines. Stencils are applied by hand for ADA symbols and lettering.
30–60 Min to Traffic
Traffic-grade paint is touch-dry in 15 minutes at 70°F. We recommend keeping vehicles off for 30–60 minutes in warm weather, 2 hours if temps are below 60°F. We notify you when it's safe to reopen.

What type of paint do you use for parking lot striping?
We use commercial-grade acetone acrylic traffic paint that meets DOT specifications and St. Louis County Standard Drawing C902.10 for pavement markings and lane striping. All paints are VOC-compliant per St. Louis County Sections 620 and 621. Our paints are UV-resistant, quick-drying, and designed to withstand heavy traffic and Missouri's freeze-thaw cycles. For nighttime visibility, we apply retroreflective glass bead injection (AASHTO M247 Type 1) on qualifying markings.
How often should parking lot lines be repainted?
In St. Louis, we recommend restriping every 18-24 months due to harsh winters. High-traffic areas like shopping centers, hospitals, and schools may need annual striping to maintain visibility and safety.
Can you stripe over old faded lines?
Yes, we can re-stripe over existing lines in most cases. If the layout is changing or lines are severely damaged, we may recommend cleaning or removing old markings first for the best results.
Do you offer parking lot layout design services?
Absolutely. We provide complete layout design to maximize parking capacity while meeting ADA requirements and fire codes. We can increase parking by 10-15% with optimized layouts on many properties.
