What is Application Is Where Preparation Pays Off?
Quick answer: Line Marking Australia applies line marking with airless spray equipment and laser alignment, after the surface is prepared and measurements are confirmed. We set out pilot lines in chalk, get approval on complex layouts, then paint. Car park lines are usually 80 to 100 mm wide, and paint is chosen from the waterborne, solvent-borne and thermoplastic types covered by AS 4049.
By the time we start applying paint, most of the hard work is done. The surface is prepared, measurements are confirmed, and materials are ready. Application is about precision and consistency. We use professional equipment, not hardware store tools. Our operators have years of experience. And we follow a systematic process that ensures every line is straight, every symbol is correctly positioned, and every marking meets specifications.
A 35 mm lesson from Moorabbin
On a tennis court job in Moorabbin in 2018, we were 35mm out on one baseline. Doesn't sound like much, right? Wrong. The court failed club certification. We had to grind off the baseline and entire service box, then remark. Cost us around $4,500 in time and materials. That expensive lesson taught us our current process: measure twice with lasers, mark pilot lines in chalk, get approval on complex layouts, then commit to paint. We haven't had a measurement issue since.

Car park bay lines in Australia are usually 80 to 100 mm wide. Line Marking Australia sets line widths to suit the layout and the standard that applies. The bays themselves follow AS/NZS 2890.1:2004, where a standard Class 1 bay is 2.4 m wide and 5.4 m long beside a 6.2 m aisle.
Line marking uses three main paint types, each with its own Australian Standard: solvent-borne paint (AS 4049.1), thermoplastic (AS 4049.2) and waterborne paint (AS 4049.3). Glass beads added for night visibility are covered by AS/NZS 2009. Line Marking Australia picks the type to suit traffic, surface and how fast the area must reopen.
