What type of paint should I use for my parking lot?
Solvent-based Traffic Paints
Solvent-based traffic paints are co-polymer based and formulated for use on streets and highways, rural roads and parking lots.
Solvent-based formulas are especially suitable for colder ambient applications where waterborne cannot be used. Suitable for application on bituminous and concrete substrates, a 15-mil application can be applied at temperatures near freezing; for faster drying times, it can be heated (maximum of 125°F) and sprayed with airless or conventional spray equipment.
Product Benefits
- Versatile quick-dry times with excellent durability
- Applies with ease at ambient temperatures as low as 40°F
- Designed to be used with or without glass beads
- Available in both zone markings and low VOC formulations
- Allows for traffic markings in the colder “shoulder” season
- Dries to no pickup in 10 minutes or less when applied at 15 mils

What is the standard size of a handicap parking space?
Parking spaces for handicapped people are not just about convenience. They’re required to be a certain width in order for them to be legally compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA requires that handicapped parking spaces must have a minimum of 8 feet of width and an access aisle at least 5 feet wide. Van-accessible parking spaces should have 11 feet of width, but if there is insufficient room for this then they can reduce their space to 10 feet and still comply with the act.
