Frequently Asked Questions
Typically 4-8 hours for water-based paint in good conditions. We'll give you specific timing based on the materials and conditions for your project.
Looking dry and being cured are different. The surface might be touch-dry but the paint underneath is still soft. Footprints and damage can occur.
Tyres can pick up paint, leaving marks on the vehicle and destroying the line marking. Tracking can spread paint across wide areas.

To some extent with fans and ventilation indoors. But paint needs time to cure properly. Forcing it too fast can affect durability.
Rain on uncured paint can damage or destroy it. We check forecasts and don't apply if rain is expected before marking can cure.
