Hello Bryan
If the bid was to “Re-stripe to Existing Layout and Pattern”…the answer isssssssssssss………kinda.
I always snap all lines when I’m Re-striping over fresh seal. Yes…I can still see the old lines. They’re hard not to see.
But…I mark the tail ends = all the same length…and…I snap all lines = mine are now the straight ones.
So…I do not have to Layout. And…I make the job better in a few ways…
1) Lots of new paint.
2) I make sure all the new lines are the same length.
3) I make sure all the lines are now straight.
That said…if there’s a total blunder…I’d fix it. Talk about it first…you’ll have that opportunity.
Over seal is a great place for new stripers or semi-experienced stripers to move into.
Here’s why…if you forget to let go of the trigger…you can just Seal Coat out the mistake.
I’ve written about this and more in my book. Go to my site. You can see the Table of Contents. Click the link that says “Read some of my book”…
Did I help?
Keep in touch.
