Aerosols work better in damp conditions than bulk paint. It's always a good idea to keep a few cases of aerosol in stock in case of rainy weather.
On your game fields, mix your paint 2 to 1 or 3 to 1. On your practice fields mix your paint 3 to 1 or 4 to 1. One quality paint, less storage.
Don't go by the rule "If a little looks good, a whole lot will look great!" Too much paint in a confined area of the field (even water base) can be harmful to the turf.
It takes approximately 1 case of aerosol (12 cans) to stripe a regulation high school football field. That's all the lines, coach's boxes and the hash stripes. It takes about 1 case to paint the numbers and tick marks on the field. * Please remember: Your gait walk determines how far each can goes. The paint is coming out at the same speed whether you are standing still, walking or running with the can. Each can is designed to spray a 4" wide line between 350 feet and 400 feet.
When painting logos, paint a white base first, and allow to dry. Then paint your colors on top, for the brightest and sharpest colors.
