Fits existing kit

Inverted can that works freehand or on a trolley applicator — no extra equipment needed.

Four steps, no training

Straight off the can — no training or extra equipment needed.

  1. Clean and dry

    The surface needs to be clean and dry — the only preparation needed.

  2. Shake for two minutes

    A full two minutes brings the pigment back into suspension for an even line.

  3. Invert and spray

    Held 50–75mm off the surface. Closer gives a narrower, sharper line; walking speed controls how heavy it lands.

  4. Clear the nozzle

    Turned upright and sprayed for a few seconds after use, clearing the nozzle so it doesn't block.

FAQs

Common questions before ordering.

Read the guides
How fast can I get it?

Order by 3.30pm and next working day delivery is available. Economy is free over £100 net of VAT. UK mainland only.

How long does semi-permanent last?

Around 6 months before it starts to break down, depending on UV exposure, the surface and traffic.

How long does temporary last?

Around 2–3 months before it starts to break down, depending on UV exposure and the surface.

How soon can traffic drive over it?

Touch dry in 25 minutes; fully cured in 24 hours.

How many cans will I need?

Roughly 100 metres of 50mm line per can, halving to about 50 metres at 100mm. The coverage calculator above gives a can count for a given line length; a spare avoids running out mid-job.

Will the colour match the swatch on screen?

Close, but not exact — no screen can reproduce sprayed paint. The swatches are a guide; where colour is critical, a single can confirms it before a bulk order.

Do I need a special applicator?

No. The inverted can works freehand, and also clips into a trolley or handheld applicator for straighter lines over distance.

Can I get a data sheet?

Yes — safety and technical data sheets are on every product page, and in Resources.
