Outstanding Stenciling Services

Its really discouraging to do what seems to be a neat job of stenciling only to discover otherwise. If you view stenciling from nothing more than an overhead view of the stencil, both you and your customer are probably going to be disappointed. Why? Because the only person who looks at a stencil from a perspective directly over the stencil is the striping contractor.  Everyone else views a stencil not only from a distance, but from a shallow angle. That means you need to “line up” your stencils from at least two other vantage points.

Using more than one vantage point, or reference point will produce a more pleasing “balance” to the stenciling work- especially if there are multiple stencils that will be made close to each other.

Many inexperienced stripers tend to view stenciling as painting a one time stencil within each individual parking stall. That type of thinking almost always produces an unsatisfactory job. Instead, top notch stripers view such stenciling as a continuous, repetitive act in which each stencil is 1) painted in alignment with the others; and 2) is centered within each stall. Giving the stencils a clean and orderly appearance.

“Alignment” is a crucial factor in multiple stenciling and “centering” is equally important. That applies to every type of stall whether straight-in or angled. When stenciling angled stalls, the individual “alignment” of the stencil may be parallel to the Base Line or may be at 90 degrees to the parking stall stripes.

About Parking Lot Striping Paint

All traffic paint contains a lot of pigment. Pigment is the colored solid material left on the pavement after the liquids have evaporated and/or been absorbed into the pavement. Contractors are usually surprised to learn that there is a frequently wide range in the percentage of pigment used by different manufacturers.

It’s also important to be aware that some manufacturers use different solvents in their paint. Therefore, some brands may not be chemically compatible with other brands of paint. Incompatible paints may not “mix” together if combine in the same pail. For example, Brand X alkyd striping paint may not combine with Brand Y or Brand Z alkyd striping paint. Wise contractors always ask their dealer for this type of information.

By comparing the net weights of similar types of paint made by various manufacturers, you’ll instantly see which paint offers the most “solids.” That will be the paint that weighs the most. Of course, the heavily pigmented paints are unlikely to be the cheapest.

We believe there is a wide range of criteria in selecting paint, other than price. Some important points to consider are list below:

1. Workability; consistently and how well it flows with your equipment.
2. Long life/good “wear” and color retention characteristics
3. Professional expertise from your dealer; you need good advice from someone in your locality when you enter the striping business.
4. Credit terms/delivery service; be sure to find a high quality paint supplier who can help you in many ways.

Parking Lot Striping Experts

Trueline Parking Lot Striping has been performing parking lot striping for over 20 years.  Trueline Striping Inc considers each and every one of our customers, both returning and new, as part of our future success in the parking lot striping industry. Our aim is simple in that we strive to  build long lasting relationships with our property management customers,  and to maintain those relationships with fair pricing, quality work and good communication and service.  If you have a parking lot striping project coming up and would like a professional, detailed and quality proposal then give us a call today.

From time to time, a customer will want you to remove some old parking lot striping lines. Usually, their request involves changing the width of the parking stalls, especially when implementing ADA requirements or changing from straight-in stalls to angled stalls.

The quickest and easiest way to conceal old stripes is to use “blackout” (asphalt) paint or “block-out” (concrete) paint. Of course, that only delays the eventual reappearance of the offensive stripes. There are three methods used to permanently remove old stripes.

1. Pressure Washing
2. Shot Blasting
3. Sand Blasting

As with most services, each type used in removing stripes has advantages and disadvantages. Call Trueline Striping today when you need to get answers in regards to which method is best for you and your parking lot striping needs.

We are a southern California based Parking Lot Striping and Painting  and Parking Lot Company Los Angeles. We are standing by ready to serve.

Today in Arcadia Ca. Trueline was hired to get a parking lot in shape. because of the economy the customer had a smaller than usual budget and needed recommendations on what we though he needed to get done the most. It was a small project about 10,000 square feet and the asphalt was pretty rough. We knew his budget was too tight for any heavy repairs to the asphalt so we recommended two coats of seal. The sealcoating helped soothe out some of the rough spots and gave the parking lot the badly needed protection from the elements, water run off, traffic etc. If Asphalt is left unsealed for too long then the asphalt becomes brittle and susceptible to cracking and breaking. After we sealed the parking lot we re-striped the lines and made some basic ADA upgrades. We installed some new signs and wheel stops and repainted all the stencils such as arrows, compacts and handicap stalls. The job turned out great and the customer was very happy. If you have a parking lot repair project coming up soon please feel free to give us call today. we specialize in parking lot sealcoating, striping and basic asphalt repairs.

• Aisle, Pedestrian: Those portions of a parking facility reserved exclusively for pedestrian use; also the other routes normally used by pedestrians between stalls and buildings. Exclusive-use pedestrian aisles typically are protected routes such as raised walkways and designated controlled lanes between or across rows of stalls. Nonexclusive pedestrian aisles include routes coinciding with traffic aisles.

• Angle of Parking: The angle (in degrees) between the line delineating the side of a stall and a line at the top of the stalls and parallel to the traffic aisle served by the stalls.

• Berm: A raised asphalt concrete curb-like bumper. Intended only for marking edges of an area; is not strong enough to deflect a straying vehicle.

• Overlap: The distance gained at the centerline of a double row of vehicles where the alternate traffic aisles are intended for vehicle traffic in opposite directions.
