The Armored Asphalt Process

  1. Site visit and layout planning. We review traffic flow, code needs, and the current condition of your pavement.
  2. Repairs and crack filling. We patch potholes and use high grade rubberized crack fill to seal openings.
  3. Two-coat sealcoating. Our crews apply a uniform two-coat system that protects the asphalt and sets the stage for crisp lines.
  4. Cure and schedule. We monitor drying conditions and set the optimal window to restripe parking lot after sealcoating.
  5. Precision striping. We apply waterborne traffic paint with accurate measurements, clean stencils, and optional glass beads for reflectivity.
  6. Final walk through and reopen. We confirm counts and placement, then remove cones when lines are ready for traffic.

DIY Or Professional Striping

Small touch ups can look simple, but commercial striping requires accurate layout, the right paint system, and careful timing. The risk of poor adhesion or noncompliant markings is not worth it. Armored Asphalt brings specialized tools, trained crews, and local code knowledge. We also coordinate work to minimize downtime for your business. If you want reliable results that last, partner with our team and get it done right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to restripe parking lot after sealcoating every time I seal

Yes. Sealcoat covers your existing markings. Without new lines, visibility and compliance suffer. A fresh layout also lets you make small improvements that help traffic flow and safety.

Can I restripe without sealcoating

Yes. If your surface is sound and the lines are faded, you can restripe alone. Many properties restripe between sealcoat cycles to maintain visibility in high wear areas. If the asphalt is dry, cracked, or gray, you will get better line life by sealing first and then striping.

How soon after new paving can I seal and stripe

New asphalt needs time to cure. Many lots are ready for sealcoating around 90 days after paving, depending on weather and mix design. We will evaluate your surface and recommend the right timeline. After sealing, we schedule striping as soon as the surface is ready.

What paint does Armored Asphalt use

We use premium waterborne acrylic traffic paints designed for asphalt in our climate. They provide strong adhesion, fast drying, and bright color. For nighttime visibility, we can add reflective glass beads on request. We also have low VOC options to meet environmental requirements.

What if it rains after you paint

We watch the forecast closely and do not stripe if rain is likely before the paint can dry. If unexpected rain hits, we inspect the site and make touch ups as needed. Our goal is a clean, professional finish every time.
