Parking Lot Layout & Striping Basics

Laying out parking lots for striping follows a series of steps that need to be taken in the right order, and this new session by a veteran striping contractor lays it all out for you — starting from the beginning. You’ll learn how to read specs and blueprints, what it means to “square up” a lot, the importance of a base line and how to find or establish one, how to create a perpendicular line and what you can do with it, how to create the various types of angled spaces — and more! Paint and equipment basics will also be covered, plus you’ll learn what every striper needs to have in his truck to get every job done. If you want the basics of parking lot layout— for yourself or your crew members — this is the place. Striping veterans attend at your own risk!
