Hello from Canada, What information do you ask customers when they reach you for the first time for warehouse line marking? And how do you calculate overall costing for line marking job?
what hapen if i use the xhd for other purposes like panting walls or doors?
The XHD's aren't really designed for lower pressure applications like walls and doors. You'd probably want a neon or blue tip. Here's a list of the tips available and where they should be used: Green tips are meant for spraying fine finish applications with thin material (such as varnish, laquers, stain) at the lowest pressure. Neon tips are suited for every interior and exterior paint job. They offer high productivity at the lowest pressure. Blue tips are meant for wall painting and spraying in general. Like neon tips, they offer high productivity and are suited for latex, paints and emulsions. Brown tips are the heavy duty tips meant for plastering and less fluid materials. Grey tips are heavy duty tips for protective coatings sprayed at up to 500 bar. Yellow tips are specifically meant for line marking applications. Although, I still prefer the grey XHD tips.
Hi the price for graco linelazer v 5900 auto. Tks
£13,856.78 ex VAT for the auto single gun from Meon or spray direct
@@AlexCIrving sorry no kit lazer for my graco pls
I don’t sell spray machinery myself - these are the prices from meon and spray direct without the laser guides. The meon one is an auto series as you mentioned, the spray direct one is manual (my preference would be manual) Here’s the link for meon: meonuk.com/products/graco-linelazer-v-5900?srsltid=AfmBOoo7yeX5JWoOYQnsxEzfwnuW-3mwRjiyi2QNlT3mJdG-ahTN0OXJ And for spray direct: www.spraydirect.co.uk/acatalog/Graco-LineLazer-V-5900-Standard-Series-Petrol-Airless-Line-Striper-1-Manual-Gun-17H454.html Meon also do the laser kit, it’s about £1k more than ours. Here’s the link for theirs: meonuk.com/products/graco-laser-1700-kit-standard-series-3900-5900-200hs And for ours: roadlines.co.uk/products/green-dot-laser-laser-only You would need to buy the line marking machine directly from Spraydirect or Meon.

Hi How thick is the line or roller? 75mm?
We always go for 100mm lines. The primary reasons being: 1. The shot blasters use plates that reduce the opening from 300mm to 100mm and also 300mm to 50mm. 2. The paint roller heads come in 100mm as standard. You could probably get a plate made for 75mm fairly easily but it likely wouldn’t be off the shelf. It does raise an interesting point though; would the line be any less prevalent at 75mm? And would it save you 25% on materials?
Cool sunglasses. How do you remove oil based paint from pavement?
Thanks @rae08. The main problem with that is that concrete is porous and so the oil will seep in - perhaps fairly deep and leaving a permanent stain. The best bet would be to use a varnish remover (amazon or similar) as these will tackle oil bases really well, but It really depends on just how big and deep the stain has penetrated. If you are going to use an acetone or similar, leave it to seep in for 10 - 15 minutes before trying to wash it off. If you have some pictures or a video, tag it below and we'll be able to help more.
@@AlexCIrving This line of work is so interesting to me. I'm just curious and I enjoy watching all your videos. As a woman I totally support your channel and I'm a new subbie 🤎. Unfortunately, I can't make it to the UK for the trade😭. Hopefully you'll make clips of content if you're up to it. Do your thing! and congratulations ‼️
So glad to hear that! Thank you for the support! We'll definitely be filming the trade morning - I've never done anything like it before and so I'll be honest honest, I'm a little bit apprehensive about how many people will turn up, will they enjoy it, can I provide enough value et cetera. One of the things that I'm really keen on doing is travelling over to meet paint suppliers, equipment, manufacturers and other line marking installers throughout Europe and the US. I feel it would really add to the weekly Vlog series and provide a lot more inspiration for people that are looking to get involved in the industry but unsure where they would fit in and how to get started.

In this one we’re using the Harris TRADE MICROPOLY MEDIUM PILE ROLLER SLEEVE EMULSION 12" X 1 3/4" Here’s the link: www.screwfix.com/p/harris-trade-micropoly-medium-pile-roller-sleeve-emulsion-12-x-1-3-4-/2870X?tc=OT8&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD8IdPyNiAsCQoJow5ve6gpDgtyl9&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzva1BhD3ARIsADQuPnWq8YMAsVSsApwRSbZp4fSzwId2FxK8N9KKvI1Zg96jPpymDRDM3ewaAojJEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds I use this for just about every job whether we’re priming, painting or sealing. The only exception is when we install UV line markings we always opt for a foam roller as it gives a better finish

Ciao ciao
Hi Alex, how do you keep the line so straight on an uneven surface?
Now that's the million dollar question @biffen1969! I have tried a few "add on" items such as the Titan SureTrak Floating Gun Kit (link: www.spraydirect.co.uk/acatalog/Titan-SureTrak-Floating-Gun-Kit-759120.html#SID=2113) but they cost £1k and don't add much value. The best way to keep it straight I have found is to use a laser guide system - this is easier on a long distance line but shorter lines always look "iffy". If you have to do it on a short line over rough ground, try using a hand mould and an aluminium edge. The bigger issue I find on a rough surface isn't so much keeping it straight, but keeping the line width consistent. Typically, as the spray arm is fixed, when you roll the machine over a rough or undulated surface, the gun moves up / down and that changes the line width - sometimes by a fair bit! Again, in this situation, hand mould and MMA is my go-to! Hope this helps. I'll make a separate video and also add it to the week 6 ending for you.
Placer le pistolet à l’arrière de la machine change tout
Yes, placing the gun at the rear of the machine is always better than the front position. Well said. It’s also much easier in this position for curves. It’s just parking bays we find it doesn’t work as well as you often can’t get close enough to the edge of the bays
Brilliant video like them all. Hope all is well. Keep up the videos, well worth watching
Thanks John. I hope you’re doing well.
Hi Alex nice video. 👍 i just wish you would go into a little bit more detail about the sealers and the costs for the warehouse work. Thank you, AL
Thanks for the feedback. I’m at a warehouse this weekend so will film it in more detail for you. I’ll list the material prices, paint application processes, floor preparation processes and cure times for paint, primer and sealer. Is there anything else you’d like to know for the video?
Does the quality come out worst if you use a roller or paint by hand compared to the sprayer?
Great question Vince. I personally think that hand applied does look better than spray applied as you don't get the feathered edges. However, there is a way to improve spray application indoors; I would still tape all of the edges as that will remove the feathering. go wider on the tape (100mm) if you can so that you can raise the spray tip higher and prevent the pressure of the spray from lifting the tape and then, once it's been sprayed in, roll it once over to create a smooth finish and remove any ripple effects the paint can tend to leave. It's a quicker process and one that I'll document in an upcoming video on comparing the two options. The key i find, is that you mustn't go too thick otherwise the paint won't cure properly. This is one of the main benefits of hand application. We go thinner and build it up in 2 layers, giving each the time to dry thoroughly. with spray, its very hard no to go too thick!
I built my own twin pot boiler set up mounted on a tri-axle ifor Williams trailer with diesel fired boilers. So much better than a gas system in my opinion, basically the same amount of room as a smaller 7.5 ton wagon but without the hassle. I am thinking of possibly producing these trailers for sale in the UK but is there much of a market for them?
Great question David. I purchased a trailer set from B-Tek fabs in burton on Trent for 17k and it’s pretty good. There are 2 other companies I know of, Tex engineering and Somerford Equipment and both do the exact same sets. I would say that there isn’t much demand for them though. Most people want lorry mounted but I still think they have a place - just in limited numbers. I also see a lot of people moving toward MMA which I think will takeover somewhat in the next 5-10 years. Can you share any pictures of the one you built?
@@AlexCIrving yes I did see somerford and Tex make them but they do look like small setups for dry day line marking, not much chance of that this year ey? Also not sure if you can spec them to run diesel burners like mine? Sure I can email you some pictures of the setup I made if you give me your email address? And MMA is great gear and the way forward if the price was a bit more like thermoplastic. And if someone can develop a pram that lines MMA then it's a game changer. I see Hoffman do one but it looks an absolute game to use it 🤣
@@davidunderwood8196 sorry I thought I had already responded! no, I don't believe you can use diesel with wither of these units so it would be good to see what you have. My email is alex@line-mark.com
@@AlexCIrving will shoot you an email over this evening 👍
What was the reason you got in to line marking?
I started out running a landscaping company and one of my customers had asked me to Line Mark their fields and car park. I put the lines in on the field for them and Line-Mark the car park and did such a terrible job that they threatened to pull the contract from me, unless I put it right. To be fair, the lines were crap! 💩 I decided that I would invest properly in Line marking to try and put it right and ended up spending a substantial amount of money buying equipment (most of which I didn’t need). Shortly after buying the equipment my farm was broken into and most of my landscaping and Line marking equipment was stolen. This was November 2021. I couldn’t afford to re-purchase all of my landscaping and Line marking equipment and decided that I had to choose only one of them to pursue. I decided that landscaping felt like an incredibly saturated market and there were literally hundreds of other companies trying to win the same limited amount of work, by dropping prices so low, that it didn’t make the work viable. I decided that Line marking would be the way forward for me as it’s largely an uncontested market space that is run by outdated and “traditional” businesses, which meant there was a huge room for improvement with technology, processes and branding. I’ve been running Line-Mark.com since March 2022 and have been filming and documenting as much of the journey as I can from that point. It’s not all rainbows 🌈 and butterflies 🦋 I can tell you but it has been so rewarding. The last six months I’ve tried to massively up our content and improve our filming and decided to take somebody on full-time just to help me film and edit the footage. Five weeks ago, we started filming our weekly vlog series Showing the behind the scenes of building Line-Mark.com and how we generated 1.5 million in sales in the last two years and £130k profit the last 6 months. I’m going to keep up with the weekly blog series and any of the questions I get through, if possible, I’ll try to turn them into a standalone video for people to watch. Are you involved in Line marking or looking at getting involved?
I hope you are very well. Your content ideas are excellent. But your videos do not have much engagement. and need a proper searchable video tag set up to reach the targeted area and audience. Your SEO score is much lower. Can I share with you some plans for increasing views and subscribers organically?
Thanks for your feedback. Absolutely the SEO can and will be improved. It’s all a big learning curve for me! What suggestions do you have?
@@AlexCIrving Yeah Proper SEO optimization increase our Channel Visibility Double. Where can I explain or suggest you in detail.
My two cents: Keep the gas bottles with the gas burners. But get a PTO for the mixing.
Thanks 🙏 I had this conversation with someone else last week. He was saying that he doesn’t rate the diesel ⛽️ boilers and thinks gas all the way. Apparently they are always cycling and burning the paints. Absolutely have to get a PTO for the mixers though. That much is a definite.

@ProStripeLinePainting Thanks for the feedback 🫶 glad you enjoyed it. I’ll get a new episode out every week
Pto would be ideal as u can do nightwork with minimal noise. We got hunted out of more villages and towns late at night cos of the donkey engine rapping off the walls😂😂😂
So loud aren’t they! PTO all the way! Just weighing up the cost of a new truck build VS re- building this one. I’m keen to go diesel boilers with a PTO
@@AlexCIrving I'm not all that up on diesel boilers. I've worked for a period with them, not sure does the boilers have to be lighting and turning all the time because of the pto but I see the yellow goes an off colour like a yellow green because it gets burnt. Only way to keep yellow a real yellow is to have 3/4 of a half boiler unless your going to be bangin out a shitload of yellow and never fill up the boiler as it takes too long to cool down in the evening, just under half(with bags fired in) for the way and as I said the colour goes off cos it gets burnt heating and reheating all the time. I work with gas all the time, prob bit more expensive but quicker for heat etc. Can't say about diesel cos didn't work for so long with them. Boilers were lit up and turned from inside the cab, all automatic. Somerford is the company that builds the bodies and by the looks of ur lorry, they built that 1 aswel.
I’m sure it was a Somerford. I did look at Maxigrip for a new one but it looks like they are resellers as opposed to actually building them? The ones I had previously were made by B-Tek Fabs and I had it trailer mounted. To be honest a trailer would still suit me fine as we only do 25 - 100 bays on average per site and perhaps a 100m of walkways at a time. At most, we need 15-20 bags on board for the average job. I think it would save me thousands in insurance, service snd running costs vs the truck + I wouldn’t have to pay congestion (it’s euro 5)
@@AlexCIrving very true , u cud always have your compressor on a trailer also with 2 gas barrels installed for burning off. Very handy to have a burning off unit ready to tow, burn today, installation tmoro.
Well done, well explained. Great information on paint and the spreqdsheets are ideal for cost.Meon are very expensive here in Ireland , the paint tins are never full, maybe just 3/4 ways up compared to other paint suppliers that are Full Full. I found Visever a good paint to work with also.
Not tried Visever but neon paint is expensive VS many others. They have an expo on in a few weeks over at Donington park which should be good though. I did manage to talk to Charles Spencer and he reduced the tins to around 50% but that was a while ago. The spreadsheet is a great starting point for knowing your prices and profit quickly

HI Alex, What kind of tape do you used?
I always use 3M 101e as I’ve never had the paint bleed through it. Here’s a link for it in the uk: www.vikingtapes.co.uk/products/3m-101e-general-purpose-masking-tape-48mm-x-50m-formerly-3m-2120?variant=33106447958079 It’s far better than the generic tape you get at DIY / home depot type of places. Every time I tried an alternative (cheaper) tape, it struggled to stick or the paint bled etc.
Hi Alex. Was chatting u recently. What kind of paint are you using for the bricks and concrete and do u use primer at all? I use meon vialine but I primes it first. Thanks, keep up the videos❤
Hi John. I typically use either an MMA from PPG / Prismo called RoburGrip. If you look for Rob Salt on LinkedIn 👇 www.linkedin.com/in/robsalt1? he can help you with pricing and delivery, but it’s usually around £60 for 20kg! Which is very good! Alternatively, we might use a sprayable MMA - Geveko do a great sprayable and hand rollable MMA called RollPlast and if you look for Andrew Price 👇 he can hook you up. www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-price-399bab35? Acrylic is around £95 / 20kg and is very good. It’s called HS or 3s route And lastly we use acrylic and MMA from LineWay UK supplied by Ash Kejriwal 👇 www.linkedin.com/in/linewayuk? Acrylic is approx £90 / 25kg and is very good. We have used Meon for paints for a few projects and indeed, that’s whom we initially were supplied by, but it wasn’t cost effective for us long term. Charles (Spencer) actually did manage to improve the prices for us significantly and I believe we were paying around £75 / 20kg for vialine approx which is very good 👍🏼 as the list price they have is £150+ but as we had agreements with others by this point we continued with Ash, Andrew and Rob. In all cases, a primer can be a good idea, I have tried both with and without primers and I think that comes down to the surface. The one thing you will need to do is clean the surface first if it’s concrete or block paving. In terms of best use, I’d go: Hand applied MMA Sprayable MMA Acrylic And, I’d never use thermoplastic on block paving. One thing I found really beneficial is to create a spreadsheet with each of the products on showing the list price and coverage rate. If I’m then looking at a project for a customer, I know the cost difference using each product and I can let the customer make the right decision on which product to use. I personally found that’s one of the best ways of deciding how to progress and choose products for a surface. Simply present the customer with the options in a very clear and concise way and ask them which they’d prefer having.
@@AlexCIrving super il check them out during the week. Thermoplastic is def a no no for brick or concrete, hate using it on it. Paint is the only way forward. Thanks so much for your help. Be in touch down the road 👍👍👍👍
@@johngreene3376 Just made a quick video regarding the paints on concrete for you. It'll be edited and live by the end of next week and also ill incorporate it within the weekly vlog episode for Friday!
Hey Alex, Graco XHD series tips are designed only for heavy duty applications like coal tar etc. For smooth lines with nice cut offs you want to use the yellow handle LineLazer RAC 5 SwitchTips. I use a 219 or 319 on my LineLazer for asphalt carpark lines and hatchings. See video about tips below: ruclips.net/video/w3FksBd86h8/видео.html&ab_channel=GracoContractorEquipment-EMEA
Thanks for your feedback - always great to hear what others are using. We used to use the yellow tip RAC 5's that you mention - thats what we've moved from following guidance from SprayDirect. As a result, we're finding the XHD's do much better for our lines!
my pressure pump is giving me so much problem
What sort of issues are you getting?
@@AlexCIrving the pump loses pressure and it is not spraying
That sounds like the packings could be worn. Depending on the machine, you could pick up a pack seal kit and fairly easily change it. I had this issue last week on my 5900 and ordered a repair kit. Here's a link for the repair kits we use - you will be able to find your model number here (assuming it's Graco) and then note down the repair kit parts list number to order from your chosen dealer. www.spraydirect.co.uk/acatalog/select_pump_repair_kit_by_product.html for other machines such as the ES 1000, I just change the whole pump as it's cheap and easy. If you can't see your model easily, hit CNTRL / CMD (on mac) F and then type in 5900 for example. that will highlight the kit for you and you can then order from these guys in the UK or type in the part no to get it elsewhere in the world.
does it sound like this? ruclips.net/video/5DjP58PDyAs/видео.htmlsi=Esjdyr72IMvwVLrs
Good video. How do you determine when a tip has reached the end if it's usable life?
Great question thanks. I think it warrants a video all on it's own.Give me 10 mins and I'll get a video out for you!
Here's a very quick video on spray tips: ruclips.net/video/bu71Rzx3UKI/видео.html
@@AlexCIrving Thanks so much for putting that video up Alex, much appreciated.
You're most welcome!
Thank god you made this video! I’ve been looking for one for ages! 👌
Thanks Sam, I hope you're doing well. I just got your message on LinkedIn. Anyone interested in a tip saver can find them here: www.sprayman.co.uk/product/tipsaver/
Hello ,i wonder what chalk poweder do u use for ksenon chalk line?
We always use the Keson Prochalk (5lb / 2.27kg). They vary in price from £15 - £22 per tub. We like the fluorescent as they stand out really well and you can't see the chalk under the painted line. Here's a link for where we buy it in the UK: www.buybrandtools.com/acatalog/Chalk-Refill-2kg.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwyJqzBhBaEiwAWDRJVB-He7SW_DRwZYpvPXlu2rpHQnyM0htk8pohq5EduM2OZd9IqERhVBoC7gUQAvD_BwE It's a little cheaper else where in the world: USA site -> www.karaco.com/marking-supplies/chalk-line/keson-prochalk-marking-chalk-refill-red-5-lb/
Thanks
Good job well done, safety on point... The blue and luminous yellow Canary visibility blends in s well, keep it up.
Thanks Steve, appreciate the support!
Thank you so much 😀
Great job 👍 what paint are you using. Also what paint you recommend for bitumen, concrete surfaces
Thanks for your feedback. I recommend either an acrylic or MMA for concrete - here’s how to apply to concrete: ruclips.net/video/waKl0IdXYcU/видео.htmlsi=DY6Km8rcJsOXFhYX For bitumen, use use the same acrylic, mma or thermoplastic. You don’t need the same prep for bitumen as you do for concrete
@@AlexCIrving thank you for making time to provide the information. This might be a stupid question but can you make a video on how to identify different type of surfaces i.e bitumen, concrete, asphalt. Again Alex I really appreciate your insights and knowledge sharing. 🙏
I certainly will. I'm away for a few days in Valencia and will make a video as soon as i'm back for you.
@@AlexCIrving much appreciated Alex👍
@@AlexCIrving hope you had a good break. Would you be able to do a video on identifying different type of surfaces i.e asphalt, bitumen concrete etc
What's better to re-stripe a concrete floor, underground parking lot. Water- born or oil? The old lines are basicly gone, not much left for a test of the old stuff.
Water based paints won’t last as long, but to give you the best longevity, grind or shot blast the floor first. This will allow the paint to stick properly. If you have access to an MMA paint that would be my go-to product, followed by a solvent / oil based and then a water based. Here’s how I’d prepare the ground: ruclips.net/video/waKl0IdXYcU/видео.htmlsi=0DiCiBo8BtlrrhAl
Any tips on doing this in a factory/wharehouse setting that's running 24/7 😅
Small areas at a time. That’s the only way I’m afraid. Most of our customers run their warehouses 24 hours a day, and how we get around this is simply isolating small areas that we can prepare i.e. shop blast/grind and then we paint and reopen those areas. There’s no ideal solution unless the customer has any downtime.
@@AlexCIrving thanks sound advice 👌was thinking the same stay awesome 💪
Have you installed the lines in the warehouse yet? if so, how did you get on?
