Nationwide Parking Lot Striping & Pavement Markings

Professional Line Striping, ADA Compliance & Traffic Markings

RSP Painting understands that your parking lot is the “Welcome Mat” to your business. A faded, disorganized lot signals neglect to customers before they even park their car. A crisp, brightly striped lot signals safety, professionalism, and success.

We are the largest self-performing striping contractor in the USA. While most painting companies view striping as an afterthought, RSP treats it as a primary trade. We deploy specialized line-striping crews equipped with industrial Graco LineLazers to service National Retailers, Distribution Centers, Hospitals, and Office Parks across all 50 states.

The RSP Difference: Precision & Speed

  • National Logistics: We execute multi-site striping programs. We can re-stripe 500 locations for a retail chain to ensure every lot matches your brand standards.

  • Night Operations: We perform 90% of our striping work at night. We barricade sections, stripe, and have the lot open and dry before your first customer arrives in the morning.

  • Laser Precision: We don’t use rollers or spray cans. We use airless line-striping machines with laser guidance for perfectly straight lines and crisp edges.

Comprehensive Pavement Marking Services

We handle everything from simple re-stripes to complex new layouts.

1. Re-Striping (Maintenance)

Restore visibility and safety.

  • Over-Striping: We apply fresh, heavy-duty traffic paint directly over existing lines to brighten them.

  • Black-Out: We use traffic-grade black paint or scarification to permanently remove old, confusing lines before applying new ones.

2. ADA Compliance & Stenciling (The Law)

Avoid lawsuits and fines.

  • Handicap Stalls: We paint the blue box, white wheelchair graphic, and cross-hatching (van accessible aisles) strictly according to Federal and State ADA codes.

  • Signage: We install concrete stops, metal bollards, and handicap metal signage to complete the compliance package.

3. New Layout & Design

Maximize your parking ratio.

  • Optimization: We can redesign your lot layout to maximize the number of parking spaces while maintaining safe drive aisles.

  • Fire Lanes: We paint red curbing and “NO PARKING – FIRE LANE” stencils to satisfy the Fire Marshal.

4. Specialty Markings

  • Distribution Centers: We stripe numbered truck bays, staging lanes, and safety hash marks for logistics hubs.

  • EV Charging Stations: We apply specialized green branding and “EV Charging Only” stencils for electric vehicle spots.

  • Directional Arrows: We paint large, high-visibility arrows and “STOP” bars to control traffic flow and prevent accidents.

The Science of Traffic Paint

Not all paint is created equal. We select the coating based on your traffic volume and climate:

  • Waterborne Traffic Paint: Fast-drying, environmentally friendly, and durable. This is the industry standard for most retail and office lots (Federal Spec TTP-1952).

  • Acetone-Based Acrylic: Used in colder climates or when “instant dry” times are required. It can be driven on within minutes.

  • Thermoplastic: For high-traffic roadways and crosswalks, we install melted thermoplastic markings that are heat-fused to the asphalt for extreme longevity.

  • Reflective Beads: We broadcast glass beads into the wet paint to make lines reflective at night (essential for airports and unlit industrial lots).

ADA Compliance: Don’t Risk a Lawsuit

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is not a suggestion; it is federal law. “Drive-by” lawsuits are common, where predatory lawyers target businesses with non-compliant parking lots.

RSP is your shield. We know the codes:

  • The Ratio: Do you have the correct number of handicap spots for your total parking count?

  • The Slope: Is the spot located on a flat surface?

  • The Van Aisle: Do you have the required 8-foot access aisle for van lifts?

  • The Path of Travel: Is there a marked path from the spot to your front door?

We perform an ADA Audit before we paint to ensure you are 100% compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the lot need to be closed? A: With our fast-dry traffic paints, cars can usually drive on the lines within 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on temperature and humidity.

Q: Can you stripe over sealcoating? A: Yes. Striping is the final step after sealcoating. We coordinate with paving contractors to apply lines immediately after the sealcoat cures.

Q: Do you work on weekends? A: Yes. For 24/7 facilities (like hospitals or hotels), we phase the work over weekends or slow periods to ensure there is always parking available for guests.
