About Us

Many homeowners, communities and HOAs have used reflective paint in the past because it is a cheaper alternative.  However, reflective paint is flat, one dimensional and far less durable.  You will experience fading and wear quickly.  And reflective paint is not as "bright" as Nite Numbers.  

Nite Numbers uses DOT paint materials for both the black background and white numbers.  The numbers are given a 3-D characteristic by the addition of airport quality reflective glass beads.  This is why Nite Numbers actually "light up" when in the beam of a light in the dark and what makes this painting process much different and far superior than any other number painting.

When painting on a concrete surface, we paint 2 basecoats of the black base.  Depending on the porosity of the surface, a 3rd coat may be necessary.  We let the base black dry a minimum of 1-2 hours between coats, then 24 hours prior to painting the white numbers.  The white paint is thicker and takes longer to dry.  We paint the first coat of white and let that dry overnight.  The final coat of white plus the reflective glass beads requires 24 hours to dry.  ***The times stated are dependent on the weather conditions as well***

Once Nite Numbers is dry, we strongly recommend to avoid driving over them for a minimum of 1 week to allow the glass beads to fully "set" into the paint.

Generally, if you're planning on painting or sealing your driveway, we recommend doing that first.  If your driveway is dirty, we recommend power washing prior to having Nite Numbers painted.  Otherwise, simply make sure the area you want painted is clean and free from debris.  Make sure your lawn is edged well and any overgrown weeds removed so they do not interfere with the painting.  Please note, we are not responsible for pulling weeds or edging your lawn.  

Obviously, if a breeze comes along while we are painting, we will do our best to keep the paint free from debris; however, we cannot control what blows onto the paint while it is drying.  We will do our best to touch up any areas affected by debris or inadvertent rain (it IS Florida!)

Lastly, remember NOT to water your lawn in the area where Nite Numbers are being painted.  The water will cause delayed drying and the paint will run.  So please avoid getting the paint wet for at least 48 hours AFTER the stencils are removed to insure everything is dry.
