Temporary Line Marking Paint

Temporary Line Marking Paint

You may need to mark out an area for a sports day, parking bays for an event, or create temporary symbols for special occasions.

With temporary line marking paint, you can create these markings without having to worry about the markings being permanent. What do you want to happen after the markings have been painted? Will they fade away or do you need to remove them from the surface?

Once you know this, you can work out what you need to buy and how you will apply it.

How Long Will You Need Your Lines For?

One-Day Events

Temporary paints that can be washed away with water and a brush are ideal for areas that need to be returned to normal straight after the event.

Make sure you allow time to test the removal method before you paint all the lines. This can be beneficial on paving, coated surfaces, etc.

A Few Weeks

If you need lines for a parking layout or have a project that will take a few weeks, look at how long the paint will last and the conditions it will be exposed to.

Weather, foot traffic, and cleaning all play a part in how long the lines will last. Check on your lines during the lifespan of the layout and top them up if they start to become hard to see.

Just because a product states it will last x amount of time doesn't mean all the lines will disappear at the same time.

Multi Sports and Training Areas

Use a good contrasting colour and make sure you know how you will remove the lines. If you are marking an artificial grass pitch, speak to your pitch supplier about the paint and cleaning method you can use.

Removing Your Temporary Lines

Most temporary marking paint will naturally fade over time. It can take 4 to 6 weeks to fade away completely. Temporary line marking paint can be removed with water and a brush, or a power jet wash.

Test Your Removal Method

Before removing your temporary lines, test your removal method on a small area to ensure it will work. Testing your removal method is also important to see whether it will damage your surface.

When testing your removal method, it is important to follow the removal instructions on the temporary line marking paint.

Know What You Can Clean With

Just because you can use a certain product on concrete doesn't mean you can use it on artificial grass or a coated surface. Find out what your surface can withstand.

Make sure you have what you need to remove the lines when the time comes.

Have Your Next Event in Mind

If you have another event coming up after your first, ensure you have enough time to remove the lines. Don't expect them to fade away if you need the surface clear by a certain date.

If you have an event that happens regularly, make a note of what you used and how you removed the lines.
