I am new to the business of striping. I have a new Graco Line Lazer 5900 and have some restaurants to restripe (Wendy's) . What is a good method to use to do a large radius and make it look good.

Put your gun at the rear wheel. You can do much smoother radii with it.

Paint from the outside of the radius. The opposite way the customer comes thru.

Yea, It's easier to make a turn with your machine turning to the inside of the curve, and with the gun on the back wheel. I don't even unlock the front wheel, just apply a little downward pressure to the handle bars while turning. Make a few practice runs and you will be fine.
