There are two hand sprayers that can be added to your Trueline Striper.
The first is the model 523. It is a heavy duty sprayer and comes with 25 ft. of retractable paint line, 2 spray tips, and an 18″ brass extension for spray assembly.
The second is the model 258 which is a lighter duty sprayer and less expensive. It comes complete with 10 ft. of paint line, 2 spray tips and a 24″ brass extension for spray assembly.
Both sprayers attach to your machine via the port that you would use to evacuate the paint from the main tank. To activate the sprayer just turn on the valve and squeeze the trigger. Paint will flow to the spray head and create a spray pattern for curbs, arrows and car stops.

This may seem like an over simplification of the process but it is really not very difficult. We started our company and before we even had a machine we had two jobs to do. One was Baptist Hospital and the other was Home Depot. We made about $3,000 in a weekend and paid for all of our equipment.
