I BEEN USING WATERBORNE ENNIS PAINTS ON COAL TAR SEAL FROM SEALMASTER AND I LOOKS GOOD, TILL TRAFFIC GETS ON IT.THEN PICKSUP TIRE MARKS FROM THE COAL TAR SEAL INTO THE STRIPE TURNING BLACK. IS THERE ANY PAINT THAT I CAN USE TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING LIKE A SEMI-GLOSS PAINT

;)Acrylic Paint - Waterbased, no solvents needed for clean-up. Might be a little heavy for the K-C & older Graco versions - but 20 oz of water would take care of problem - If it's high end paint - won't knock solids out of spec!!

I know what you mean. I have left a beautiful re-stripe, and then looked at it the next day, and you could barely see the lines for all the dirt stuck to them. Some paint stays tacky even after it is "dry". I have better luck with SW and Allstates waterbased. The absolute best at staying bright white is Technical Coatings Supreme, but it's oil based and you can't use it on fresh sealcoat.

CRUELLA THANK YOU. ACRYLIC PAINT IS BETTER THAN LATEX? AND WHAT BRAND SHOULD I USE THAT IS FAST DRY.

This is a sealcoat problem as much as a paint problem but this isn't the forum for all that.
