Pavement Striping8/1/2011Wet Night Bead ComparisonsVisual inspection in the fall of 2013 showed the new, ungrooved water based paint with regular beads in was brighter in the rain than the wet night, year old, applications. We will reapply the test deck in another location that has a flatter profile so run-off is more consistent between product applications.
