You can definitely get started in Line marking very cheaply. As you say doing parking lot with a roller and tape is a great way to get out there. Another great way would be to add a hand mould and use an MMA as this will give you a more durable finishAnd will allow you to paint much quicker. Starting with indoor Line marking isn't as easy and cheap. To start with you are going to need a shot blasting machine, a vacuum and probably a generator. The biggest issue with indoor line marking comes down to preparation of the floor and having the knowledge of the right paints to use. My suggestion if you were looking to start warehouse line marking, is to have a budget of around £15,000 or $15,000 for equipment and a couple of thousand for training and technical support.

@@Snarfimus No problem at all, that's what I'm here for. When it comes to purchasing indoor equipment, I always recommend buying new or renting if you're uncertain about the investment. In the past, I've been too quick to buy expensive equipment, only to regret it later when it wasn’t used frequently enough to justify the cost. Personally, I enjoy factory marking, but keep in mind that it takes significantly longer and clients tend to be much more particular compared to car park line marking. You'll also need a team of at least two or three people to complete the job efficiently. In comparison, car park line marking, while occasionally impacted by weather, is faster, more profitable, and the customers tend to be easier to satisfy than those for factory work. The only reason I even started doing factory and warehouse line marking was because I had existing clients who owned warehouses and we get a lot of rain in the UK. If you're in a sunnier climate and have access to parking lot work, that could definitely be more profitable, especially if you’re using a spray machine or hand moulding. While it's tempting to cut costs, you also need to factor in productivity and meeting customer expectations.
