Can you please tell me how long this lasted? And where you found it? Thanks!
Hi Tiffany- I used to use the DayGlo brand spray chalk- it would last about a week- but, they discontinued it.
I’ve switched to a waterbased paint made by Krylon- not only is it not as florescent, it also fades fast and seems to not last as long. It also doesn’t wash off my stencil as easily.
I’d give anything to be able to get the DayGlo chalk again- it was awesome, even though about 1 in 10 bottles was a fail (which may be why they exited the business).
Do you know the name of the paint by Krylon? They have a professional chalk spray for marking and I don’t think that’s what you’re referring to is it?
I’m using Krylon Quik-Mark water based inverted marking paint now.
Thanks for responding so quickly. I just drove to Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes, Dicks Sporting Goods, etc..and on one has this spray. After looking online I found this: http://www.staples.com/Industrial-Quik-Mark-20-oz-Aerosol-Can-Inverted-Marking-Chalk-Alkyd-APWA/product_762580#revs_content
is that what you were referring to? The comment by buyer states that it’s not easy to remove. We’re looking for a spray chalk that removes easy so that it’s not considered damaging to the city.
Hi Samantha- mine was water based- and- it does wash away. It fades within a few days. I bought mine online.
I really miss the DayGlo.
Thanks again for being so helpful. After not finding it in the stores, I went ahead and placed an order online. Hope it works! Thanks!
