– Trusco Trueline Model 250 or 350 BP Battery Powered Paint Striper
The Trueline 250 BP and 350 BP (battery powered) 5 / 10 gallon stripers are easy to use machines that can be used to stripe factory floors, parking lots or fields. The 250 is a 5 gallon machine and is the more popular unit. The 350 is the 10 gallon machine and is normally sold to companies who will be striping roads, airports or other large jobs. Both units are great for companies that have need to be able to stripe remotely where compressed air or power may not be readily available. One charge on the battery will spray up to 60 gallons of paint which is enough for about 24,000 feet of 4″ striping. We recommend this unit to our commercial striping customers who stripe for a living and may be using the machine in multiple environments. It is a very low maintenance machine with very few moving parts to break. Units are in stock for quick delivery. Order below online or call 850-934-3157. Priced at $2,323 for the 5 gallon unit, and $2,823 for the 10 gallon model.

Both the 250 and 350 BP have an amazing state of the art battery charging system. All you need to do is plug it in and the charging unit will automatically keep the battery topped off and will shut down automatically to prevent over charging. The air pump is activated by a switch near the hand grips and only needs to be activated to add pressure to the tank. The machine operates quietly when striping. When you receive the unit you will first fill the battery with 2 1/2 quarts of battery acid which you can get at an auto parts store. Then you simply charge, fill with paint and begin striping.
