paint for playgrounds old and faded playground equipment is a cost-effective way to restore it to its former glory. By using a quality primer and paint, the new coating will be durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of kids playing on it, as well as the rain and sun that it is exposed to throughout the year.

Before any paint can be applied, the surface must be clean and dry. Using a pressure washer and then sweeping the area will remove any dirt, dust, or other debris that could cause an adverse reaction to the coating or make it flaky or sticky.

Colorful Playtime: Choosing the Right Paint for Your Playground

The best paint for playgrounds is a water-based latex that dries to the touch in less than three hours. It is formulated specifically for use on asphalt surfaces and will provide the longest lasting results. Other popular choices include MMA (Multi-Coating) and Sports Coating, both of which are designed to be used on tarmac surfaces and can be applied directly over existing paint.

Both MMA and Sports Coating are non-toxic, meaning they are safe for children to be in contact with if they happen to get some on them. Both are also available in a range of vibrant and stimulating primary colours.

Thermoplastic line marking tape is another great option for playgrounds as it offers bright, precise and long-lasting lines. It is also easy to apply and can be laid out in the desired pattern by hand, or with a Zebra spray machine.
