Which of Our 4 Core Paints Should You Pick? (A Slightly Fun Cheat Sheet)

Answer three questions. Pick a paint.

You don’t need a chemistry degree. Ask: (1) Is this airside? (2) Does it need to glow after dark with weak lighting? (3) Is the marking a shape, bar or cycle lane — or just a kerb / box on concrete? Your answers point straight at one of our four core systems.

Airside? → Airfield marking paint

If the surface is a runway, taxiway or apron, skip the highway habits. Airfield marking paint is the lane you’re in — controlled application windows, crisp thresholds, taxi guidance that pilots actually trust.

Need light when there’s no light? → Glow paint

Campus loops, forest park paths, parking ramps, rural black spots — when streetlights are sparse or unreliable, glow in the dark paint is the clever move. Charge by day, guide by night.

Shapes, bars, cycle tracks? → MMA cold plastic

Geometry is cold plastic’s playground. MMA resin cold plastic handles transverse bars, reassurance signs, NMT cycle tracks and raised symbols without dragging a molten kettle into a smart-city lane.

Kerbs, islands, parking boxes? → Waterborne

For median stones, hectometre markers, traffic islands and area boxes, waterborne kerb & area paint keeps crews fast and finishes clean. It’s the everyday clarity layer cities quietly depend on.
