Car Park Line Marking on Aged Tarmac — Project Overview
This project showcases professional car park line marking on an old, weathered tarmac surface.
Despite the substrate’s condition, we delivered crisp, compliant bays and clear wayfinding using a high-performance MMA system and best-practice preparation.
- Location: Private car park (tarmac)
- Scope: Re-mark existing layout; renew bays, symbols & arrows
- Coating: Sprayable MMA car park paint (high visibility, fast cure)
- Challenges: Aged surface, localised cracking, weather windows
- Outcome: Clean, durable markings with minimal downtime
Challenges with Older Car Parks
Ageing tarmac can reduce coating life if not treated correctly. Porosity, micro-cracks and contamination
all impact adhesion. Our team mitigates this with targeted preparation and the right coating system.
Our Process
- Survey & layout check: Confirm bay count, traffic flow and accessibility requirements.
- Surface prep: Local grind/abrade as needed, mechanical clean, vacuum and degrease.
- Masking: High-tack, clean-release tape for razor-sharp edges.
- Application: Sprayable MMA system for bold colour and rapid return-to-service.
- Detailing: Symbols, arrows and hatching to improve navigation and safety.
- Quality check: Line width, opacity and uniformity verified before handover.
Results
The renewed car park line marking improves first impressions and makes the site easier to navigate.
Clear bay boundaries, legible symbols and tidy edges all contribute to safer, smoother parking.
