Surface Preparation The surface to be coated must be clean and free of dust, grease, wax, rust, oil and bleeding stains. New asphalt or any asphaltic seal coat applied to the surface prior to application of HD Acrylic Traffic Marking Paint should be dry for at least 48 hours before this marking paint is used. Existing traffic lines can be obliterated on asphalt surfaces by coating with ALLPRO A4540-102 Black Acrylic Traffic Marking Paint prior to application of the required color. Allow A4540-102 to dry four (4) hours before recoating with A4540 HD Acrylic color required.

Stir contents thoroughly from the bottom before using. Paint only in dry weather. Thinning is not normally required. If necessary, thin sparingly with clean water. Traffic beads may be dropped into this coating while wet to provide reflectorized markings. If beads are applied, they should be broadcast into the wet paint at a rate of six (6) pounds per gallon of paint.
