NoticesRoadway Line Painting Underway in CollingwoodThe Town of Collingwood will begin roadway line painting operations for the 2019 season on the week ofJune 3, 2019. This notice is to inform drivers to obey all signage and warning signs in order to keep theirvehicles clean and clear of all roadway paint, and to keep our roadways safe. The Town of Collingwoodassumes no responsibility for paint damage claims from motorists who cross wet paint lines.

Line Painting FAQ

When does line painting occur?

The Town of Collingwood specifies that all line painting takes place during off peak traffic volumeconditions. Therefore, line painting may be completed in the mid-day, evening, or night-time hours.

Why don’t line painters just paint at night?

The difficulty with painting at night arises when the temperature between the air and the road surfacechange at different rates, condensation occurs on the roadway making for poor conditions for paint toadhere to the roadway.

How long does it take for paint to dry?

Normal latex (water based paint) used for roadway application usually dries within two (2) minutes ofapplication.

Paint operations are causing traffic backups, can we pass the warning trucks?

The intent of the warning trucks behind the line painter, is to provide enough space in between to allowfor paint to dry. If you cross the centerline to pass line painting operations, chances are that your vehiclewill end up with paint on it. Please be patient and follow the direction of the marking vehicles.

What can I do if I get paint on my vehicle?

If you find that you have paint on your vehicle, atyour earliest opportunity go to a car wash or haveyour vehicle power-sprayed to try and removethe paint. If that does not remove the paint, sprayWD-40 on your vehicle and let dry for two hours,and then rewash. If this has still not removed thepaint, apply Vaseline to the affected area and letsit overnight, and rewash with soap and water. Donot scrub with any type of abrasive pad or cloth.This may ruin the clear coat on your vehicle. Allwashing should be done with soap and water, anda vehicle wash brush or sponge.

If I cannot remove the paint, is the Townresponsible?

The Town of Collingwood assumes no liability forpaint damages to vehicles that have crossed wetpaint lines, or disobeyed the warning signs andvehicles.
