Have a job to do a at dairy plant. it has quite a few semi stall lines that are double around 75 ft long. Have never used both yu guns to do that type of painting. Is it worth taking the time to set up the dual guns? Im sure it would look better? I think there are around 20 or so doubles at the loading docks.

First of all uniformity is the most important part of our job.Of course it takes a little more time to set up however it is faster in the long run and much more professional.We just did a 6000 stall parking lot, i can't even imagine doing it with a single gun.

If you do it one line at a time, whoever is pushing the machine had better be (expletive) good. If the lines deviate just 1/4 of an inch from each other it's going to be noticeable. It can be done one line at a time, but if the machine can be set up to run 2 at a time it is preferable.
