Why Melbourne Temporary Line Marking Specialists?
A construction company in Fishermans Bend called us mid-project. Their original line marking contractor had used permanent paint for what was meant to be temporary pedestrian diversions. Now they faced a $40,000 resurfacing bill unless someone could fix it. They needed new temporary markings that would actually come off when the project finished in three months.
We assessed the site that afternoon and proposed a solution. First, we chemically stripped the permanent paint from critical areas. Then we applied proper temporary marking paint rated for three months of vehicle traffic. When the project wrapped, our removal crew had the entire site cleaned back to original condition in one shift.
The difference between temporary and permanent marking is not just the paint. It is understanding removal chemistry, surface porosity, and Melbourne's weather effects. We have been doing this across Melbourne since 2009, from Grand Prix setups to apartment construction sites in Southbank. We know what works and what leaves you with a mess.

Frequently Asked Questions
We offer same-day service for urgent jobs across Melbourne metro. Our Bundoora base means we can reach most sites within an hour. Standard bookings are typically scheduled within 24 to 48 hours. Major event setups need 5 to 7 days notice for proper planning.
Temporary marking uses water-based or removable solvent paints that release from surfaces without grinding or chemicals. Permanent marking bonds into the surface for years of durability. We select the right product based on how long you need the markings and what surface you are working with.
Yes, our temporary marking products are formulated for outdoor use and handle Melbourne weather well. Standard temporary paint lasts 4 to 12 weeks with normal rain exposure. For longer projects or high-traffic areas, we use more durable temporary formulations that still remove cleanly.
We regularly work with film productions across Melbourne. We understand the need for quick setup, scene changes, and complete removal without traces. Our crews are experienced with working around production schedules and have valid site inductions for studio lots.
We guarantee clean removal on properly prepared surfaces. Before applying any temporary marking, we assess the surface condition and recommend appropriate products. If removal is problematic, we handle remediation at our cost. This has happened twice in 15 years.
We quote based on total linear metres, surface type, duration needed, and removal timeline. Most Melbourne temporary jobs range from $600 to $4,000. Complex traffic management with multiple phases costs more. We provide fixed quotes after a site visit or detailed plans review.
