How to Apply Reflective Glass Beads?
Reflective Glass Beads, All Types, Instructions
Our Reflective Glass Beads can be applied to freshly painted surfaces, or they can be used with a line striping machine that applies the beads evenly on the paint. For small jobs a container with holes in it will work just fine. (Saltshaker, etc.) You can apply the beads manually by simply sprinkling the beads over the fresh paint. It is important to note that the paint needs to be wet for the beads to stick.
You can figure to use approximately 5 to 6 pounds of glass beads, for every 1 gallon of paint used.
Reflective Glass Beads can be used with virtually all types of paint; however, we recommend using a lighter color such as white, orange or yellow.
Our High Index Reflective Glass Beads (Type 3) are about 5 times brighter than Standard AASHTO DOT or any Type 1 Reflective glass beads. colereflective.com
