Line Marking?
« on: May 02, 2017, 09:22:06 AM »

Just a quick one guys. What sort paint can I use to mark the crease lines in our artificial nets?

Cheers

I would have a go with white spray paint. mask up both sides of the line, cover the the pitch so you don't get over spray and off you go.

Depends how often you want to be remarking them.

I use Homebase' cheapest large tub of super white emulsion for my grass tracks, slightly watered down maybe 80/20 and then use it neat for the Astro strip. Not needed to remark yet and probably wont for the rest of the year. For a practice net, I'd probably remark mid season and it's best to use a stiffer/shorter bristled brush to get paint into the surface more.
