Want to paint bike path stripes on a playground. How sharp of a turn will this make?

I think you will find that it doesn't turn so well. The machine works great for straight lines but isn't designed to make turns. You'd have to pick it up and reposition the machine before laying each line.

you can make slight long bending curves by lifting the front tires off the ground, other than that it will be sharp angles, and if you want to have dark lines then you will have to paint them multiple times, my suggestion would be to use a roller and either tape or cut cardboard as a guide.

We could not get a straight line from this unitUnlikely you could get a reasonable curved line

The four wheels are fixed straight ahead, this is meant for paining straight lines only.

The paint striping machine is definitely made for straight lines. However, you can use a little pressure to lift the front wheels off the ground slightly and make turns. The sharpest curve that you would be able to make is maybe a ten foot radius provided that you moved slowly and stayed steady. I think it will take some practice and getting the paint coverage consistent will be difficult. If you only need to make a few short curves, you may want to hold the can and apply by hand. You can use masking tape or paper to cover the area surrounding the curve to help define the line edges.

The wheels do not turn. Not sure how well it would fair turning on a bike path. It's ideal for straight lines.

I think it is made for straight lines. I don't think it would be good for corners.

No, it cannot turn corners. Does fine on straight runs when leaves and debris is dry. Not so godd when leaves are wet and compacted.

I tried to do a similar project. Next time I said I would use paint designed for the project! Not only is it hard to get even paint, it takes a lot of effort to heat set it. Hope you have better outcome if you decide to do this!

Absolutely , the paint will peel right off . And I'm not so sure you want to paint a walkway with this paint it's, great stutt but it might be slippery. You need a pool deck paint. It's got a grit to it

It's just like a think decal sticker. You can stick it to any smooth flat surface with ease. I actually used mine to cover some ride picking and round parts. I found I could overlap often and not be noticed. And one person can apply with reasonable effort. But you MUST get the pattern lined up if you rent the overlap or transfusion to remain invisible r upBut to get around all the tight little, curves. Corners, err c you'll need to warn it up as you lay it siren

I use it on light dirt trails The tires are a little skinny for this, but it's doable. I put a tire with a little more tread on it, but I haven't tried it yet, but I expect it will be better.

it seemed to have a light coating of stain so I applied another layer of outdoor stain. I imagine if u roughed/sanded it up a bit, it would take a coat of paint.

I used paint tap along the edges. It worked well on the flat parts. Not so perfect on the corners. I kept it thin and watched it close.

You need a smooth, outside surface...don't think inside the fender will work.

As long as the sandpaper is no more course than 600 grit you should be ok....the resin contains some cutters and it will bring luster back to the paint.....

Instead of making the circle/oval my son makes a straight(ish) track that runs along side the shops in his town. We have a ton of playmobil because he is 8 and has been recieving gifts of playmobil for many years. By making a straight line he can make stops along the various shops--sometimes moving freight and sometimes giving tours and just lots of possiblities this way. I'm estimating from memory since I'm at work that each piece of track is about 8 inches so using it in straight line makes it over 8 feet long. Plus he finds it very satisfying to drive it backward through the town and occassionally making it run off the track causing emergencies.

I used a paint pad as recommended. It seemed to work well without streaking.

I agree with the last comment. Generally if you have a good edge from using the fine white rods, then about 20 strokes on each side using the Ultra Fine white rods should work. I would also consider stropping after as well though some thing the Ultra Fine is equivalent to stropping.

I used it to print a shirt with a stencil and a sponge and it bled thru. I've had trouble getting it a uniform color without using a screen. Hope this helped

It is made from PVC material, but it has a very smooth surface. So yes, I would think you could paint it but be deliberate about it. If it were me, I would use an oil based primer and a high quality outdoor paint. Benjamin Moore has a waterborne alkyd paint called "Advance" that I think would be good, if they can provide it in a color you like. Anyway, when I say good quality paint I'm not talking about stuff you can buy at Home Depot. All this might be overkill, but I think it is worth being deliberate on surfaces like this outdoors.

Sure...you need to use the leading ( either liquid or pre-cut strips) to create your design and then paint inside lines. If the design is small, you may get a better result painting it onto a plastic sheeting first and then peel and stick it to the glass if painting on a curved surface is too difficult. Best of luck!

The wheels are hard and designed to take a beating on sidewalks/roads. I strongly believe your wood floor will have marks you will see in dark floors or mar the sheen. Also, make sure to get a Swivel Car with the original "Black Wheels" not the cheaper cars with ones that look like they are adding Grey scooter wheels. These Grey wheels are slightly slimmer and the wheels will come out of the White holders on each side of the rear. You will soon have a toy with missing parts.
