Find a Sport Floor Contractor

PAINTED LINES, LOGOS, AND BORDERS

Numerous brands of paint are successfully used on hardwood sports floors for game line and graphics applications. Brands of paint and compatible gymnasium floor finishes differ between flooring contractors based on their experience and preference of particular product applications.

Regardless of selected paints, only gymnasium floor finishes included in the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association list of approved finishes should be used on MFMA floors.

Sound paint and finish adhesion relies on compatibility, necessary cure time and proper abrasion before applying added coats of paint or finish.

Most paints are suitably cured in 24 hours when exposed to moderate temperature and humidity. However, some paints such as custom colors require highly pigmented formulas to achieve desired shades thus requiring considerably longer curing time to acquire sound bonding with the next layer of paint or finish.

The above are general guidelines.  It is imperative to always follow the finish manufacturers’ most current recommendations for finish and paint applications.
