Traffic Paint vs Epoxy Paint – What’s the Difference?

For nearly 30 years, 7 Hills Striping has delivered reliable asphalt paving, striping, and concrete solutions for commercial and residential properties across Madison and the Midwest. 

When choosing between Traffic Paints and Epoxy Paint, there’s a couple things you should consider:

What surface are you painting?

If you’re planning to paint on a surface with heavy traffic on it, such as a roadway, reflective epoxy traffic paint would be recommended as it’s more durable and the epoxy will keep your paint brighter and help it last longer with heavy traffic.

If you’re painting an area that has a more intricate design and sees less traffic such as a parking lot or basketball court, acrylic or water-based paint will do the same job and be a cheaper option.

Show Your Colors with Regular Traffic Paint.

One of the biggest factors in which paint you select could come down to what color you’re looking for. Our epoxy paint has limited options, while our regular traffic paints can come in whichever color is best for your project! Because of the nature of the epoxy paint, we limit it’s use to vehicle heavy areas, while our regular traffic paint can be used for any design or template you can come up with! From simple basketball court lines to a colorful map, if you’re looking for more variety for your project then regular traffic paint is the way to go.

So, whether you’re looking for long lasting Epoxy paint, or for higher variety regular traffic paint, 7 Hills Striping is here to offer you the right product for your project. Our expert staff will help you make the right decision, and will work with you from start to finish to make sure that your project is completed accurately and on time.
