Empire Understands the Importance of Quality Parking Lot Stenciling
Many companies need to identify parking stalls for employees or departments of their operations. Often times, they will try to do it themselves only to find out that its not as easy as it looks. The problem is that they view stenciling from nothing more than an overhead view of the stencil. Because of this they usually end up with a poor stenciling job. Why, Because the only person who looks at a stencil from a perspective directly over the stencil is the guy painting the stencil. Everyone else views a stencil not only from a distance, but from a shallow angle. That means you need to “line up” your stencils from at least two other vantage points.
Using multiple vantage points, or reference points will produce a more satisfactory “balance” to the stenciling project- particularly if there are many stencils that will be sprayed close to one another.
Many inexperienced painters have a tendency to view their project as painting a onetime stencil within each individual parking space. That mindset usually produces disappointing results. Instead, professional stripers view such stencil projects as continuous, repetitive act in which each stencil is
- 1) Painted on a even line with each other stencil
- 2) Is centered within each stall at exactly the same point
These are the main factors that are what gives your parking lot stencils a clean and orderly appearance. We call that “The Empire Way”
Alignment is First Key Factor for Perfect Stenciling
“Alignment” is a crucial factor in multiple stenciling and “centering” is equally important. That applies to every type of stall whether straight-in or angled. When stenciling angled stalls, the individual “alignment” of the stencil may be parallel to the Base Line or may be at 90 degrees to the parking stall stripes.
