Sport Court Coating Systems

High-performance acrylic and polyurethane coating systems for pickleball, tennis, basketball, and multi-use courts.

More Than Paint - A Performance Surface

Sport court coatings are engineered systems designed to:

  • Provide consistent ball bounce and surface traction
  • Protect the underlying asphalt or concrete substrate
  • Resist wear from foot traffic and gameplay
  • Withstand UV exposure and weathering (outdoor courts)
  • Deliver long-term color stability and line clarity

    Proper system selection directly impacts playability and durability.

Surface Failures Start Below the Coating

Common issues we address:

  • Cracking in asphalt or concrete substrates
  • Poor surface preparation before coating
  • Improper crack repair or leveling
  • Fading and UV degradation
  • Peeling due to poor adhesion
  • Incorrect texture affecting playability

    A coating system is only as good as the surface beneath it.

The Layers Behind a High-Performance Court

Sport court systems are typically installed over:

  • Asphalt courts (most common for outdoor use)
  • Concrete slabs (indoor gyms or outdoor courts)

    Each substrate requires specific preparation and detailing to ensure long-term adhesion and performance, generally including:
  • Surface preparation (cleaning, grinding, repairs)
  • Crack repair and leveling
  • Primer or base coat (if required)
  • Acrylic or polyurethane coating system
  • Texture layers for traction and playability
  • Color coating layers
  • Precision line striping

Griptop Sports Acrylic is purpose built for indoor/outdoor sport courts, including tennis, pickleball, basketball, and multi-sport courts.
