Plenty of places sell the aerosol cans of line marking paint - the
stuff used for car park bays, but nobody seems to be able to say how
far a can goes?
I've got to mark out 5 bays, figured on 4" wide lines on 3 sides.
No idea if I need 1 can, 5 cans, 10 cans?
Anyone have any experience of using this stuff?


Not a direct answer to your Q. But at work our local handyman ;-) has
been using a tape that he heats onto the tarmac. Unfortunately I can't
find it in Google for you and I am trying to remember if he uses a hot
iron (square piece of metal not what you might use on your clothes) to
stick it or flame or both.


The stuff I've seen the local road gangs using outside our house was
done with a gas bow torch.

This sort of stuff.

I'd imagine this lasts better than the aerosol paint.

You can also get an adhesive tape as well.
