What type of effect are you interested in? Is this for marking (lines, directions, etc) or decorative? Kevin

For KaBOOM! projects, when painting hopscotches, Four Square, or re-painting basketball lines, we generally use Behr Premium Plus Ultra Porch and Floor paint. It adheres easily and well to concrete surfaces and lasts a good amount of time. It also allows you the greatest variety in colors to choose from. I would also recommend purchasing a packet of "No Skid" (I believe) if you are looking into pavement games - this applies a grit to the paint, making it less slick and slippery. Hope this helps!

I agree with Ariel. Porch & Floor paint holds up much better on asphalt or concrete surfaces that receive foot traffic. If you paint with a typical exterior paint, it will start chipping in no time. Another option for non-decorative pavement painting is striping paint. The color palette is typically limited, but this paint holds up extremely well over time and is perfect for things like painting curbs. I've also found that there are good spraypaint-style striping paints that work well when doing things like marking a basketball stencil. Another thing to consider is prepping the surface before painting. While not required, it wouldn't hurt to use a clear concrete primer/sealer prior to the painting you intend to do.

Don't forget too that anything left on the surface before painting will flake off with your paint attached...so, you definitely want to clean the surface well, possibly with a pressure washer, etc. Good luck...Post photos!

I always pressure wash the surface and prime the area with a clear sealer; this helps to both keep the paint job looking sharp and prevents clogging up your paintbrushes with a ton of dirt or leaves. Another helpful tip is to purchase knee pads for anybody who might be kneeling on the ground while painting. You can also purchase extender rods for the rollers so that you won't need to bend down as far to paint; painting on the asphalt can sometimes be tough on the volunteers if they have to bend over or kneel all day long so it's always nice to try to keep them as comfortable as possible!

We are a company that specializes in unique stencils for colorful playground games for blacktop surfaces. We have used Glidden Porch and Floor paint with very good results and there are many color choices. There are many considerations and limitations about using paint on a pavement surface that affect how long paint will last. Locale, rainfall, snow, traffic, age of pavement are just a few important considerations. Feel free to contact us if you would like further assistance. Good luck!

Don't forget, you can always go to the local paint store/supplier and get some great advice there. I would have to agree that Porch and Floor Paint is the best from my experience. I also use a concrete primer under it and let it dry for about 24-48 hours before applying the porch and floor paint. Just as an extra adhesive. A few things to keep in mind though, sometimes, if you are looking for bright colors (depending on how many you want), the paint supplier may not have enough of the base to fill your order. You may have to go to a few stores to get all your colors (if you are getting more than 7-10 gallons at once). Also, try not to get anything too glossy, they tend to get a little slippery when wet. Good luck and we'd love to see pictures of your finished products!
