What You Need to Know When Painting your Logo on Tracks, Cement or Driveways/Sidewalks

Your team or organization's logo is important and is a symbol of pride. Painting your logo on grass is one thing, but what about hard surfaces such as parking lots, sidewalks and tracks? You can absolutely do this! The process and the style of custom stencil is different but the impact it makes is the same.  

Painting on harder surfaces is less forgiving than grass. Grass by nature moves and grows and any imperfection in the painting process is generally covered up by the fact that the edges will be somewhat rough. (Most grass stencils are viewed at a distance so you can not see these slight imperfections the grass causes). The shorter the grass, the more precise you need to be, and if you eliminate the grass? - then you need to be perfect. To do that the stencils will be made differently and use different materials. Semi-rigid or rigid plastic is the preferred material so that there will be perfect edges. With larger stencils multiple panels will be used and stencils that use several colors will also use several panels but they will be “layered” to allow for the details to be painted. 

As a side benefit, using the semi-rigid plastic means these stencils are incredibly durable. They will stand up to as many paintings as you can find uses for. You could paint your logo in every single parking spot in your lot if you chose to do so.
