Acrylic paint for outdoor basketball courts

Water-based acrylic paint mixed with anti-slip sand, applied in several coats over concrete or asphalt. It stands up to sun and rain, gives an even ball bounce and is easy to recoat when the color starts to age, and suits basketball courts at schools, communities and housing estates. For a softer surface, choose Acrylic Cushion paint, which adds rubber cushion layers under the color coats. Details: Acrylic sports court paint

PU paint for indoor basketball courts

A seamless, resilient polyurethane surface that absorbs impact on jumps and landings and reduces the load on knees and ankles. Suited to gyms and multi-purpose halls, and usable outdoors with a UV-resistant topcoat. Read more: PU sports court paint

Popular basketball court colors

The playing area is usually green or blue. The restricted area under the basket (often called the three-second area or the paint) must be one color throughout, usually brick red, orange or dark blue to contrast with the court. If the center circle is painted, it must be the same color as the restricted areas, and the area outside the boundary lines uses another color to mark it clearly. All court lines are white and 5 cm wide under FIBA rules.
