How to Paint Asphalt

Any Home Depot and a lot of hardware stores sell a specific paint called 'traffic paint' designed and formulated for asphalt or pavement painting. This is the same high-quality paint the street maintenance crews use. You can get it in the standard traffic colors of blue, white, yellow and red. This specially formulated enamel paint dries to the tough in about a half-hour.

Behr, Glidden and Rustoleum all sell versions of this traffic paint and Home Depot will sell either the Behr and Glidden or Rustoleum brands. The only Krylon paint offered by Home Depot is in spray paint form.

(NOTE: You won't need special equipment, like a paint sprayer, to do the job yourself. All you'll need is several rolls of masking tape, a drop cloth or two and a brush. You might also want some white chalk to chalk mark off the your lines. Then you use the masking tape, making sure you press the tape smugly into the rough surfaces of the asphalt, following your chalk drawn lines.)

And I apologize for the distractions that have nothing to do with offering you the best possible solution to your specific needs. Fragile egos that appear as vexations can sidetrack the original intent.

I mentioned Home Depot because they have stores across the country in most locations how. You can also buy this traffic paint in your local Do It Center hardware stores if there isn't a Home Depot near you.
