1. A method of coating a road surface with a paint employing a ceramic radiation panel mounted upon a wheeled carriage so as to be positioned above the road surface comprising the steps of:

  • (a) moving the wheeled carriage along the road surface;

    (b) heating the ceramic panel to generate radiant energy and directing radiant energy within the infrared and red wavelength band toward a portion of a road surface to be coated to elevate the temperature thereof;

    (c) spraying a coating of paint upon the preheated surface which is elevated to a temperature to promote significantly rapid drying of the paint; and

    (d) heating a second ceramic panel to generate radiant energy and heating the coated surface by directing radiant energy in the infrared and red band to heat the road surface and the paint coated thereon.
