Understanding The Whites
Economy Quality
AquaStripe #1 Standard is a white natural grass paint, that is specifically formulated as a budget-minded ready-to-spray permanent line paint. The AquaStripe #1 is perfect for club or intramural associations that need good quality white paint without breaking the bank in the process. High schools, colleges and professional leagues can also benefit from this field paint because the low cost makes it ideal for training grounds where white field lines need to be present, but they aren't needed for game-day flair. It's a great all-around paint that is economical but still durable enough for mild to aggressive abuse.
Standard Quality
AquaStripe #2B is a select paint that is the most popular paint by far for larger high schools and colleges. Priced well with great durability, this paint won't disappoint you. It is a step up in quality over the AquaStripe #1 white paint and it is fortified with XENON for extra brightness and NIGHT-TIME reflectivity.
High Quality & Space Saving
The following paints are a step up in quality over the AquaStripe #2B white paint. They are designed with a higher solid content to be more durable and have a brighter white than the #1 and #2B.
AquaStripe #4 Concentrate is a perfect choice for folks who need to save space because of its concentrated formula. With concentrated paint, you can purchase a single bucket and go a long way with it without having to store a bunch of buckets. (See our thinning table below for help on choosing the right ratio)
AquaStripe #4B Concentrate is the same great product as the AquaStripe #4, but it includes XENON for extra brightness and night-time reflectivity for even better whites. (See our thinning table below for help on choosing the right ratio)
AquaStripe #10 Super Concentrate is a very popular paint for schools or associations that have a very limited amount of storage space. It is essentially the same product as the #4B but it is even more concentrated to give you an even better bang for your buck. Includes brighteners. (See our thinning table below for help on choosing the right ratio)
AquaStripe #10 RTS is basically the same quality as the #4B but it comes as a "Ready-to-Spray" formula.
AquaStripe #10 VOC is a special blend designed to have ZERO VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) for sensitive folks. This is a great product for indoor fields where permanent paint is needed, but low fumes are a must and because it has zero VOCs, it is the most environmental paint we offer. (See our thinning table below for help on choosing the right ratio)
Professional Quality & Brightest White
AquaStripe #5B is new in 2016 and it is the brightest white paint on the market. This paint was designed with field marking association professionals, for field marking professionals. This paint isn't just a little bit brighter than the competition, it is a LOT brighter than the competition, so much so that we are going to make sure the competition has to work hard, to catch up. The other stand out quality of our AquaStripe #5B is the longevity of the paint. Most paints begin to yellow after a few days. Our #5B Professional white is designed to last longer and in some cases, we are seeing up to a week of bright white before needing to re-spray. There may be an up-front cost for our professional paint, but it pays for itself in back-end longevity. Fortified with XENON for extra brightness and night-time reflectivity.
Thinning
Thinning for our white paints is all dependent on the paint you choose. Some paints allow thinning where others are designed as a Ready-to-Spray (RTS) and we do not recommend thinning them. ALWAYS pour water into paint. For example, if the ratio is 3:1, pour 3 parts of water INTO 1 part of paint. If you are unclear on the whole parts thing, it's really pretty easy. Convert the part into your volume of choice. For the same 3:1 example, you would have 1 gallon of paint in a 5 gallon bucket. You would then pour 3 gallons of water into the bucket with the paint. This will create 4 gallons of total usable paint.
