Aexcel Gorilla Paint
Gorilla Paint Offers the Longest Lifespan and Fastest Drying Times
When it comes to surface marking for directionality and safety, the right paint needs to be chosen. It’s essential for paving companies, DOT contractors, parking lot construction firms and others to ensure they’re using a paint that offers colorfastness, durability, high visibility and that dries quickly. Gorilla paint is the answer.
What Benefits Does Gorilla Paint Offer?
When it comes to marking paint, Aexcel is a leading name in the industry thanks to the company’s dedication to quality, durability, ease of application and outstanding colorfastness. However, Gorilla paint offers another benefit – it’s super-fast drying. When applied with an ambient temperature of 77 degrees F, it dries completely in just 15 minutes. Other paints can take several hours to dry, and days to cure completely. With Gorilla paint, the surface is ready for traffic almost immediately.
There are quite a few other benefits here. You’ll find that the paint is available in three different colors to suit a wide variety of needs. Road paving crews can make use of the white and yellow paints for lining lanes. Parking lot paving companies, parking deck construction firms and others will also benefit from the white and yellow formulations, but can also use the blue paint for lining out handicap parking places and for other needs.
All three colors offer the same drying times, and the same superior colorfastness. They are also easy to apply thanks to their latex base. In addition, all three are designed for use on both asphalt, and for concrete, which makes Gorilla paint an ideal solution for just about any needs when it comes to surface marking. Finally, this paint can also be applied over existing, faded paint, but loose or peeling sections must be removed before applying it.
Clean Up
Gorilla has a much higher solids content than our other standard traffic paints, and because of this it is thicker than other paints and will require more effort when cleaning paint sprayers. There is no magic solution to this other than taking the time to clean as required. Toluene is our recommended cleaner.

Sealer needs to cure for at least 24-48 hours in ideal temperature and weather conditions before applying traffic paint to ensure that no bleeding happens. Moist, humid and cold weather can delay proper curing time, so it is highly recommended to check the weather forecasts before sealcoating to ensure that the material sets and dries properly. To check if the sealer has dried, run your finger over the sealed surface and see whether the material still feels tacky to the touch. If it is, it might be best to give it more time to dry.
Durable traffic paint is available in 5-gallon pails and generally offers 320 linear feet of coverage per gallon. For a 500 sq ft, containers needed for this job are two (2) 5-gallon paint.
