Striping or Line Striping is applying paint to new or existing lines for parking, stencils, speed bumps, or curbs. Then using a painting machine it will spray a fan of paint onto the pavement. The most common paint used is water or acrylic base. Line striping is needed for visibility. Drivers and pedestrians use them daily for where to park and where to walk. Newly paved parking area can require lines, stencils, or curbs to be painted to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians. Over time that paint will fade and will require a re-stripe. Visible parking lot lines and stencils plays a big role in the safety of you and others.
