Choosing the Right Stencil Kit
Stencils make repeatable line marking work fast: a one-time stencil set drops bay numerals, accessibility symbols, give-way bars and arrows onto the pavement in seconds, and pairs with a 286 RAC 5 SwitchTip for clean overlap with no over-spray. Pick by the work: standard carpark and council kits cover the routine symbols, custom stencil orders on enquiry cover council branding and non-standard bay sizes, and the right paint plus tip pairing makes the line crisp on the first pass.
Standard carpark and council stencil kits. The GO Car Park Stencil Kit (Brady, 876978) is the first-order anchor for any carpark, council or contractor buyer: numerals 0-9, accessibility symbol, arrows, give-way bar and stop bar in one bundle. The Graco LineLazer V Stencil Kit Range (24G778) is the Graco-branded equivalent, unit-matched for LineLazer V users who want one badge across the stencil + unit + tip + gun stack. Both kits land same-day on most metro orders and ship with cardboard backing for transit protection.
Accessibility (DDA) symbol stencils. The GO Car Park Symbol of Access Stencil (A45890) is a standalone accessibility (wheelchair) symbol stencil for DDA-compliant accessible bay marking. Symbol size and proportion is governed by the AS 1428 series (Disability access). Verify the current AS 1428 revision against the council or building owner brief before fulfilling tenders. Most council carpark accessible bay tenders specify the standalone symbol stencil so the symbol can be marked at the correct AS 1428 size on existing bay outlines without re-stencilling the whole bay.
Custom stencil orders. For council branding, oversized symbols, non-standard bay sizes, council priority symbols and project-specific stencils, custom orders are available on enquiry with a 1-2 week typical lead time. Standard pathway: customer brief and artwork to GO, GO quotes and manufactures the stencil set, GO ships. Custom stencils typically use the same 3 mm or 5 mm aluminium stock as the standard kits and are durable across hundreds of paint passes.
Paint and tip pairing for clean stencil work. Pair the stencil with the 286 RAC 5 Stencilling SwitchTip (286319 is the standard fit) on the LineLazer family for clean overlap and minimal over-spray. The 286 black SwitchTip atomises the paint at the right fan width and orifice for stencil edges, where the LL5 yellow-line series would over-spray onto the stencil mask. For temporary edge masking on freshly painted lines, use the GPI Orange Linemarking Masking Tape (TLO48, 18 mm x 50 m roll); it lifts cleanly from waterborne paint within 24 hours and gives a sharp line edge.
