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.

There is no better way than with the Line Cheater II that Jim has made. He has simplified this product and made it very easy to use.

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.

When the lines are a little off less than 1 inch, we compansate with two little larger lines and than use the radius maker. on the average last year we we restriping about 300 radius per hour with one man. Jim

Depending on the condition of the paint and how far off the lines were, could you just paint all the radiuses first (all the same size) and then restripe off the radius? What is the plural of radius: "radii"?

Grammatically correct. And a perfect illustration of somebody using a 1-gun machine for a 2 gun job!
