The specialty paints section at Ace Hardware includes zone marking paint for marking out traffic instructions on parking lots, factory floors and streets, as well as field marking paint for striping turfed sports fields, artificial tennis and basketball courts, dirt surfaces and more. When you're faced with an area you need to mark out, it is important to choose the right kind of paint to deliver the results you're looking for.

Marking and Striping Paint

Traffic paint is used to stripe guidelines, instructions and signs on asphalt or concrete. It is available in several types, including with oil- or water-based formulations. Our painting supplies section includes zone marking paint with both types of formulas, available in a range of colors like bright white and highly visible yellow.

Oil-Based Traffic Paint

Oil-based marking paint is one of the most common and reliable choices, creating markings that dry quickly and are highly durable. They require strong solvents to fully remove. Oil-based marking paint can also withstand a high range of temperatures, making it ideal for exposed outdoor areas. However, care needs to be taken during use as the chemicals in the paint are often toxic, and clean-up requires specialist cleaners to remove splashes and spills.

Water-based Striping Paint

Water-based striping paint offers many of the same advantages as oil-based products but with less environmental impact and lower use of harsh chemicals. Many water-based paints also include latex to improve durability and visibility while still retaining the low toxicity levels that make this marking paint safer to apply and easier to clean up.

What to Look for With Zone Marking Paint

For striping results that last, it's important to look for a few essential qualities when choosing your marking paint, including:

  • Fast-drying formulas to keep disruption to a minimum, with some paint types drying within 30 minutes.
  • Toughness to withstand heavy traffic without fading, cracking or peeling.
  • High visibility without sheen or excessive reflectivity.
  • A smooth but non-slippery finish even in wet conditions.
  • Versatility to use on various surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, brick and metal.

Stripe Your Sports Facilities with Field Marking Paint

Field marking paint is used to mark out sports fields and courts. Compared to other kinds of marking paint it has several important features, including:

  • Non-toxic and non-caustic properties to avoid irritating skin.
  • Non-staining qualities to protect clothing.
  • Free-flowing texture for easy line marking.
  • Easy removal capability for rapid repainting.
  • A dual-use application on natural and synthetic playing surfaces.
  • A relatively low cost for repeated striping over a full sports season.

Field marking paint is usually based on finely ground limestone, which is particularly suited to grass surfaces, or a latex formula that can be used on any surface, including indoor artificial turf.
