How long does parking lot marking take?

A typical 200-bay parking lot is marked in 1–2 days. We work in phases to keep portions of the facility open throughout.

Can you re-mark over existing lines?

We recommend blacking out ghost lines first to avoid driver confusion. Where layout changes, old lines are obscured with black-out paint before new marking.

Do you handle accessibility (disabled) bays?

Yes, we apply all accessibility symbols, bay dimensions and signage to meet local and international accessibility codes.

Solvent paint vs thermoplastic for parking lots — which lasts longer?

Solvent acrylic paint is standard for parking lots (cost-effective, 2-3 year life). Thermoplastic is recommended for high-traffic parking decks (5-7 year life, higher upfront cost). For most commercial parking facilities in the Gulf, solvent paint with proper surface preparation provides the best ROI.

How long does parking lot marking take?

A 200-bay parking lot is typically marked in 1-2 days. We work in phases to keep portions of the facility open. Solvent paint dries in 30-60 minutes; thermoplastic cures in 2-5 minutes. Layout optimisation (adding bays) is done first, followed by line striping and stencil application.
