ABSTRACT:
A paint stripe and a process of applying the paint stripe upon a substantially horizontal surface is provided. Reflective particles are applied in at least two streams upon the substantially fluidic upper surface of the paint stripe. The first stream of particles of greatest size is applied to the paint stripe before subsequent streams, each particle of each of the streams becoming embedded into the fluidic upper surface approximately fifty percent of the maximum dimension of the particles. Capillation of the paint carries the reflective particles of the subsequent streams in an upward manner along the outer surface of the reflective particles of the first stream. The reflective particles of the subsequent streams are then embedded in the fluidic upper surface of the paint stripe at an angle approaching the perpendicular to the horizontal surface.
