Rain, sun, frost. Same line.

Rain overnight, sunshine in the afternoon and a cold morning to follow. Your pitch faces changing weather, and you want the white lines to stay clearly visible for the next training session or match. Direct is developed and tested for those changing conditions. A reliable choice for clear white lines, even when the weather turns.

The right paint for your marking routine

Direct has the lowest price per can in our ready-to-use white range. That makes it worth considering for pitches you mark occasionally. If you mark every week, paint consumption matters more across the season. Ready Go and Ready Fit use less paint per pitch. Tell us how often you mark and which machine you use, and we will help you choose.

Suitable surface: Natural grass sports pitches.

Machines: Selectliner, Flexliner and Easyliner, or any machine with a pump delivering at least 3 bar (45 PSI) at the nozzle.

Drying time: Approximately 30 minutes under recommended conditions. Lower temperatures or damp conditions may extend the drying time.

Final whiteness and consumption: Both depend on nozzle selection, flow rate and marking speed.

Cleaning: Clean the marking equipment immediately after use with clean water or Selectline Cleaner. Rinse the hoses, filters and nozzle thoroughly to prevent clogging.

Frequently asked questions

A ready-to-use paint is supplied at application consistency: shake it, install the container and mark. A concentrate is diluted with clean water before use, normally at 1:4, so its container price is lower. What a ready-to-use paint removes is the preparation: no measuring, no stirring, no water to carry, no batch lost to an incorrect ratio, and the same consistency for every operator. On consumption the two go different ways. Selectline Direct applies through a flat-tip nozzle at 0.92 L/min and uses more paint per pitch than our low-flow ready-to-use paints, while Ready Go and Ready Fit use less. Across a season, weigh the litres against the hours.

Yes. Shake the container thoroughly for at least 10 seconds before every use, so that pigment settled during storage is redistributed. Never add water: Selectline Direct is supplied at the correct consistency, and diluting it reduces whiteness and coverage.

Selectline Direct is robot-compatible and works with any automated marking system that meets its nozzle and pressure specification, including the systems most commonly used on sports pitches today, such as Tiny Mobile Robots, TurfTank, Swozi and FJD. Because it needs no dilution, the paint that reaches the robot's pump is the same on every run, which is what an automated system needs for consistent output. Check your robot's specified nozzle type and minimum pump pressure before first use, and flush the system after each session.

Use a yellow flat-tip nozzle delivering 0.92 L/min, with the machine operating at 3 bar / 45 PSI. This is a higher flow rate than the hollow-cone nozzles used with Ready Go and Ready Fit, so consumption per pitch is higher. If lower consumption is your priority, Ready Go applies through low-flow hollow-cone nozzles.

It is suitable, and it is designed for situations where preparation time and consistency matter more than the lowest possible cost per litre: schools, training grounds and community facilities where marking duties rotate between people. Clubs marking several pitches every week usually reach a lower seasonal cost with Ready Go or with a Mix concentrate.
