Indoor Soccer Turf Field with Rubber In-fill

Painting solutions can vary depending on the type of turf facility and your requirements. Here's a question from a indoor soccer facility manager.

"I work for a brand new indoor soccer facility in Kansas City and we have a turf field with in-fill that we needs to get painted for use. What solutions do you offer for synthetic turf with rubber in-fill that we can get down in the next couple of days? Your assistance is most appreciated."

There are a couple indoor soccer field painting options you can consider.

If you are looking for a temporary marking solutions we have:
1) Aerosol Chalk (Durastripe Aerosol Chalk) – same line striper as an aerosol painter ($10/case more for color)

2) Bulk Liquid Chalk (SwitchBack Double Play Liquid Chalk) – need an airless paint striper (currently on in white)

3) Removable Field Marking Paint (TrailBlazer Rally Day or Season Ticket) – needs an airless striper that can produce 900 psi at the pump head (can be removed with a turf paint cleaning agent and bristle brush)


If you are looking for a more permanent field marking solution we have:
1) Aerosol Paint with an Aerosol Paint Clear Coat primer (DuraStriper Paint)

2) Permanent Bulk Latex Paint (TrailBlazer Solar Trail) -- needs an airless striper that can produce 900 psi at the pump head

With application on synthetic turf you should try and achieve at least a one hour dry time for the chalk products and a couple hours (for outside application and 12 to 24 hours on an inside application).
