Existing Parking Lots and Parking Garages

Parking lot lines and stenciled signals begin to fade within a year of application. Exposure to harsh weather wears away even commercial-grade paints. Most parking lots need a face-lift every two years to keep them looking their professional best. Parking garages should be refreshed just as often, as traffic, dirt and moisture fade the paint on concrete.

Southern Asphalt Engineering can revive faded lines and signals with a fresh coat of high-quality paint. If necessary, we can remove or blackout existing lines.

Parking Lot Striping FAQs

How long does it last?

Pavement striping and pavement markings generally last about a year depending on the condition of the pavement, parking lot traffic, and weather conditions. 

How long does parking lot striping take?

 Parking lot striping can take anywhere from a few minutes to 5 hours spending on the type of striping and the project size.

What is the best type of paint to use for asphalt line striping in South Florida?

Thermoplastic pavement marking paint is a type of road marking material applied as a hot liquid and then solidifies upon cooling to create a durable, long-lasting marking. The benefits of using thermoplastic pavement marking paint include its durability, as it can withstand heavy traffic and weathering, and its reflective properties, which can improve visibility at night and in low-light conditions. Thermoplastic pavement marking paint can be applied quickly and easily with specialized equipment. It can be pre-formed into unique shapes and symbols, making it versatile for various road marking needs.

How often should line striping be done on an asphalt surface?

The frequency of line striping on an asphalt surface in South Florida will depend on the amount of traffic the surface sees and the condition of the existing lines. On average, it’s recommended to be done every 1-2 years.

What are the best techniques for ensuring a crisp, clean line when striping on an asphalt surface?

It’s important to use high-quality thermoplastic paint and equipment, and to make sure the surface is clean and dry before starting. Additionally, using high-quality stencils and templates can help ensure straight lines. Our team uses the latest techniques and ensures a great outcome.

Can line striping be done on an asphalt surface that is hot or in direct sunlight?

Yes, line striping can be done on a hot asphalt surface or in direct sunlight, but it’s important to use a paint that is designed for use in hot temperatures. Thermoplastic FDOT-Approved paint is a great material we use.
