Hey guys quick question. I got a parking lot that has the radius ends at the end of the stalls. What is the quickest and best way to paint these. I was thinking a stencil but it's a repaint and the lines are not all the same distance apart. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

What I do is put the gun on the back wheel and paint backward using a 315 tip with the pressure turned down low so you can walk slow and stripe.
In this case I would still use the Randy & Jim invention, but I would measure and sort the bay lines, then spray the ones that were 11.5" apart first, 12" apart next, 12.5" apart next, etc. You can not beat the perfect radius that this machine puts down. If you have to spray those #@%#^ "hairpain" caps, thats the way to do it. You could use an adjustable two piece "U" stencil, but dang thats a lot of bending over. I would have done that a long time ago when my back was stronger than my brain.
