Considerations when choosing spray line marker

• Marking type - choose between permanent and semi-permanent types of line marking paint to achieve the right finish for the amount of time you require.

• Application - Line paint can be applied by hand, using stencils for a neater finish, or a machine, which can provide consistent straight lines. Most brands are compatible for either of these application methods, however, some are not, so check the manufacturer's instructions on the back of the packaging.

• Safety - as with most aerosol sprays, there is an odour and fumes released during use. Always apply paints in a well-ventilated area, but also wear the correct PPE, such as goggles and masks to protect against any splash injury or breathing difficulties.
