There are only (3) types of Parking Lot Striping
Re-Stripes
This is clean and simple, parking lot striping. A Re-Stripe is just you and your line striping machine. No other work is being performed. There’s no asphalt work, no seal coating…just you. And, you are simply Re Striping what’s already there. In my book, I teach how to work quickly, how to assure the lines are all the same length, straight and parallel. These jobs are scheduled before hours…after hours…or even during hours.
Re-Stripe to Existing Layout and Pattern Over Seal Coat
This type of a job is not much different than a Re-stripe. Why? Because even though someone has seal coated the parking lot…99 times out of 100…you can still see the old parking lot striping = lines and Parking Lot Stencils. Learn the procedure for this type of parking lot striping and why striping “over seal” is such a great market.
New Layouts
By the time we get to the “Layout” section of my book…I will introduce (1) difference and point out (1) pattern and you’ll say to yourself…”I know what he’s going to do”. Do not be afraid of a layout. I know you can do it. If you can lay out a tic tac toe design onto a 12″ x 12″ place mat…and, make the lines straight and parallel, I believe you can lay out a parking lot. Keep this in mind too, your first jobs are probably going to be simple Re Stripes, that you chose. You may be asked to add a stall or a hashed out walkway with equally spaced diagonal stripes. You measured. That’s a layout. Small, but still…! And remember, there are no big jobs. …just a bunch of little ones, stuck together. That’s how most of us started. If I can help and even encourage you to get started…Read My Blog, and…read more about My Book…Read (4) Pages.
