PAINTED LINE AND MARKING SYSTEM
Note
Inlaid Line and Marking System are preferred for opti-
mum performance. Inlaid Line and Marking Systems are
constructed utilizing the same material specifications,
and are to be inset in such a manner to ensure a good
bond, an even finished surface and physical strength
equal to the material prior to introduction of the line and
marking system. Permanent inlaid line and marking sys-
tems are more attractive than painted systems because
of the reduction in maintenance and quality of image.
Alternative painting of line and marking systems and their
care is explained below.
Many facility owners like to use elaborate line and
marking systems, including facility logos, league logos,
sponsor logos, mid-field and end-zone designs in assort -
ed colors. Others prefer the simpler approach of sharp,
well-defined game markings with no extraneous mark -
ings. In either instance, the materials and techniques
used in applying paints will determine the life of the
markings and the ease of removal when these need to be
changed. In marking, do not apply paint too heavily. Light
applications give good visibility and adequate life and are
less abrasive than excessive layers of caked-on paint.
Dry Markings
Temporary markings can be applied by using the same
chalk dust used for natural turf fields. In some uses,
the chalk dust is slurred with water for wet application.
Chalk dust markings, however, tend to be picked up and
spread by the feet of players on the field, leaving tracks in
unmarked areas.
Chalk markings are easily washed away or spread by
water. They may be obliterated by a hard rain-shower.
The only advantage for chalk markings is low cost.
Chalk
markings are not recommended for infilled systems!
Paints
Regardless of the type of paint used and design required,
best results will be obtained when paint is applied to
a clean, dry, dust-and-grease-free base. It is extremely
important that old, degraded paint and dirt be washed off
any area that is to be repainted if the best appearance
and traffic resistance are to be obtained.
