I want to paint 20 parking lot parking bumpers. How many pounds of beads do I need? What is the volume of 10 pounds of reflective beads?

As far as coverage the DOT recommends 5-6 pounds per gallon of paint used. A gallon of paint coverages around 75-100 sq feet.

Will these cut your animals paws if they walk across them once applied to your painted stripe on my driveway?

No, the beads are smooth and round.

Are these beads type 3?

No these are a Type 1 and our the same type beads that are used by the DOT on roads, interstates etc. Type 3 beads are made from virgin glass and are 5 times more reflective.
