Using this specific product
Bailey Paints 4980 Road Marking Paint is listed here as the Quick-drying line paint version for car park lines and road lines. For painting, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.
Before you start
- Confirm the package says Quick-drying line paint; related versions can use different timing.
- For car park lines and road lines, pay particular attention to surface preparation, coat thickness and ventilation.
- At 20°C.
How to check readiness
Test an inconspicuous area for firmness and blocking before normal use. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Before recoating, confirm the first coat matches the manufacturer’s stated condition; if the maximum window passed, check whether sanding is required. The sheet gives hard dry in 20 minutes.
Avoid this mistake
Recoating too early can trap solvent or water; waiting much longer may require scuffing under the label directions.
