The Parking Lot Striping Process: What to Expect

4 min read

Whether you're striping a new lot or re-striping an existing one, here's what the professional striping process looks like with GreaseKleen.

Step 1: Site Assessment

We visit your property to measure the lot, count stalls, note ADA requirements, identify fire lanes, and discuss any custom markings (reserved spots, directional arrows, company logos).

Step 2: Surface Preparation

For best paint adhesion, we recommend pressure washing the lot before striping. At minimum, we blow and sweep the surface to remove loose dirt and debris.

Step 3: Layout

For new lots or re-layouts, we chalk-line the entire lot using precise measurements to maximize parking capacity and traffic flow. For re-striping, we follow existing line patterns.

Step 4: Striping

We use professional striping machines with high-quality traffic paint for clean, consistent, straight lines. Handicap stalls, arrows, fire lanes, crosswalks, and stencils are painted using templates.

Step 5: Dry Time

Most traffic paint dries to touch in 15–30 minutes and is traffic-ready in 1–2 hours. We section off freshly painted areas to prevent premature traffic.

Most lots are completed in one night. Request a free striping quote.
