Recommended cure time
Asphalt sealcoat typically needs 24 to 48 hours to cure enough for striping. In spring and fall, when nights are cool, it can take longer.
Scheduling both without closing twice
Many property managers coordinate the jobs like this:
- Sealcoat half the lot Friday, stripe it Saturday night
- Or sealcoat all at once and stripe the following night
- Lay out temporary cones for parking between steps
Why coordination matters
When sealcoat and striping crews talk to each other, you avoid lots sitting unmarked and drivers parking randomly across fresh black pavement.
Frequently asked questions
Can you stripe the same day as sealcoating?
Rarely. It's only possible with fast-curing products and ideal weather, and most manufacturers advise against it.
Does sealcoat cover the old lines?
Yes, which is why striping always follows sealcoating.
Do you do sealcoating?
We focus on striping and coordinate with your paving or sealcoat contractor.
