Every parking lot you drive past has lines on it. Somebody gets paid to repaint them.

So why do so many people start here?

The barrier to entry is low: A striper, paint, stencils, and a way to measure. That's the whole list.

One person can run a job: You don't need a crew on day one. That matters when you're funding this yourself.

Recurring work: Every lot you stripe is a lot you can quote again in a couple of years.

Demand is everywhere: Plazas, churches, apartment buildings, small offices. If it's paved and cars park on it, someone has to maintain those lines.

Can be paired with other services: Sealcoating and crack filling are the usual next steps. Same clients, same properties.

If you're interested in learning more about this business, we're running free hands-on line striping training at our Kitchener location on September 16.

This is your chance to see the industry up close. Come run a striper, ask what you want, and find out if this business is for you.

Scaling up means doing bigger jobs per day. And bigger jobs need equipment that can keep up.

The AirBoss 750 is a production sealcoating system built for crews ready to handle bigger contracts. It keeps your team spraying instead of mixing and refilling between stops.

- 745 gallon tank covers 60,000 to 75,000 sq ft per load
- Hydraulic agitation and a 2 inch AODD pump for steady output
- Dual 7,225 lb axles and 15,600 lb GVWR for stable towing
- Four configurations to match your crew size and workflow

If your current setup is the reason you're turning down work, this is the rig that changes the math.

More gallons. More power. Better output.

Summer is winding down. The last few weeks of sealing are where good habits pay off, and where mistakes follow you into spring.

Five things worth knowing about handling asphalt emulsion sealer.

- Match your pump to your product. Polymer modified emulsion needs a dual diaphragm pump. Centrifugal, banjo, and trash pumps are fine for standard emulsion with no polymers or sand added. Run polymer through the wrong pump and you'll be repairing it instead of spraying.

- Dilute and mix it right. Ready-to-use takes 5 to 10 percent water, just for workability. Concentrate takes 25 percent, up to 30 in peak heat. Over-dilution is the number one cause of emulsion failures. Extra water cuts the solids and weakens the film, and a thicker mix actually spreads farther. Drop a little water on the sealer in your tank. If it dents the surface before blending in, you're good.

- Don't skip the sand. Sand matters more in emulsion than it ever did with coal tar. Think of it as the rebar. Use 1.5 to 2 lbs per gallon of concentrate, not total tank volume. So 100 gallons ready-to-use works out to about 70 gallons of concentrate. Calculate off the 70.

- Watch the thermometer. Pavement and air both need to be at 10°C and rising, with no rain for 24 hours. Lay your forearm on the pavement. If it feels cold, don't apply. And brush the shade instead of spraying it. Building shadows and tree cover stay cold and hold moisture, which is how a coat fails.

- Store leftover sealer correctly. Emulsion can be stored over winter, but only if it stays indoors and above freezing. Frozen emulsion separates and it's finished. Never pour leftover job material back into your bulk tank, since that's the most common way bacteria gets in. Agitate before the next use so it goes on smooth instead of clumpy.

Get these right and you get the most out of every purchase.

Faster layouts, fewer setup steps, days that end on time with the LineLazer V 3900.

Graco's gas-powered two-gun airless striper for contractors who paint parking lots and roadways. Three configurations let you match the rig to the work.

- Lay clean lines with the Endurance Pump, 25 years of proven performance
- Set up guns the same way every time with the EasyMark Gun Adjustment System
- Skip-line at the push of a button with the Automatic Paint Gun System (HP models)
- Cut layout time in half with Auto-Layout II measuring as you walk (HP models)

Standard for everyday lot work, HP Automatic for crews that stripe at scale. The V 3900 earns its spot in the shop either way.

It's the most common thing people get wrong about asphalt.

The fresh black finish is the part you notice, but it's a side effect, not the point.

Here's what sealer is actually doing:

- Blocking UV. Sun breaks down the binder that holds the asphalt together. That's why old pavement turns gray and gets brittle before it starts cracking.
- Keeping water out. Water that soaks in freezes, expands, and pushes the pavement apart from underneath. Ontario winters do this over and over.
- Staying flexible. Emulsion moves with the pavement instead of going rigid and cracking off. Oil spots are the exception, so prime those before you seal.

One more thing worth knowing: sealer is protection, not repair.

It won't fix cracks, it won't level a low spot, and it won't save pavement that's already failing at the base.

Asphalt sealcoating isn't just a fresh coat of black paint. But it's not a miracle fix either.
