Don't Mess Up Painting Your Curbs

By:


Have you thought about other ways to brighten your businesses exposure from the street? Curb painting is an often overlooked way to encourage more customers to your lot and ultimately through your doors. A relatively inexpensive way to attract new customers and encourage existing ones to maintain their loyalty, curb painting can hep to boost your businesses bottom line.

Do's and Dont's.

You should be aware that your curb must be completely free of dirt and debris prior to painting. Painting over the top of this will only cause the paint to chip and flake and will render your hard work, useless. Often times a hard broom and hose will remove the unwanted surface dirt an leave your curb ready for painting. If you have a curb that requires more than a hose and brush, then sandblasting can render your curb like new again. Only once your curb has been thoroughly cleaned and dried should you consider painting.

DONT: Use the wrong paint! You should choose the paint you want to go over the existing painted curb only after you have ascertained what the original paint was. Using the wrong paint can mean that any - and all future curb painting - will fail.

People are often drawn to working areas and wet paint. Strange as this sounds, you need to make sure you have adequate warnings and barriers placed around the areas that you are working on. This means rope tie-offs, hazard signs and ribbon. the last thing you need is someone walking or driving through your hard work.

Choosing the right paint and spending a little more on the cost of it should also save you financially. This means that your curb will look great fro a longer period of time, and it also wont pose a hazard should it be the cause of a slip and fall.

Many enamel paints become slippery when wet and customers have been known to slip on this type of paint. An extra few dollars today, could save you many later on.
