Rust-Oleum 2395000 High-Performance Striping Machine, 9" x 27.5", Yellow

Easy to set up, works perfectly, and holds extra paint cans. Seems well built as well, happy with my purchase

I have never striped anything before and I acheived professional results right out of the box. I striped eleven parking spots in front of my restaurant and it paid for itself with one application. It is a robust design for the do-it-yourselfer, and suitable for light commercial applications. There is opportunity to improve the adjustment process of the spray pattern mechanism. There is no visual indicator to keep the spray can mounting plate perpendicular to the sprayed surface other than eyeballing it. This will not be an issue for most do-it-yourselfers.

We used to rent one of these after sealcoating our church parking lot. All of the rental centers in our area stopped renting them out. We tried doing some lines with homemade cardboard stencils, but it was very time consuming.Out of the box, I had to adjust the cable. It wouldn't spray paint with the factory setup. It works like a bicycle brake or gear cable. The fine tuning adjustment wasn't enough, so I had to loosen the nut and tighten the cable quite a bit to get it to work, but that only took 5 minutes.It does the job. I think it will last forever, it seems to be very sturdy steel construction. Easily compatible with the Rustoleum inverted spray cans, they just pop in and out, and are held securely in place. If you make a starter line of some kind, either with a chalkline, or using fishing line and two weights like I did, it's not hard to do good straight lines. I had no trouble with a little math even doing angled hash marks, etc.My only complaint is that when it's adjusted high enough to get full width lines (about halfway up), the lines come out a bit fuzzy at the edges. I guess the only way to cure that would be to put wide tape to mask it, which kind of defeats the purpose of saving time. Maybe some sort of guard could be on there to redirect paint, but I'm afraid that would collect paint and start to drip.I'm a perfectionist, and had to accept that the lines weren't going to have crisp edges like something I'd paint indoors. It is after all, just a parking lot, which is going to get driven on, snowplowed, have mudpuddles, etc., and from the street it looked perfect.

I have wanted this for years and finally broke down and spent the money. It works as it should and is easy to setup and operate. When you insert the first can, if it does not spray, there is a cable adjustment by the trigger that needs to be set so the can sprays. It looks like an adjustment for brakes on a bicycle.The lines are sharp and 4 inches wide (can set all the way up) as long as there is no wind. Even in a light breeze, the stripe was very good.You need to walk VERY SLOWLY to get the stripes down in one pass. I ended up doing two passes after realizing the need to go SLOWLY.Use a chalk line to guide you!!! This keeps the lines straight.I was able to paint about 100' feet of line with one can. Not saying you will get the same results, but it was good enough for me.Would definitely buy again.BTW, the case of paint (6 cans) was cheapest at Home Depot.

Works great to paint parking lot lines and basketball lines.

Just wanted to tell you that the product has arrived and is not lost. It’s a great product!

The mechanism that is suppose to widen Line to 4 inches would not exceed any wider than 2 Inches, despite countless attempts to adjust it to the desired standard Parking Line Width of 4 Inches...My project was to Repaint Existing White Lines on Parking Spaces.... The Lines measured 16ft Long, 4 Inches Wide... Because the Machine would not adjust to the 4 Inch setting, I had to Paint over Each Line numerous times to cover the necessary Width... The result was it took 1 Full Can of the Inverted White Spray Paint to complete just 5 lines --- only a fraction of the amount 1 Can should have covered... The Lines the Machine did produce were also very hazy along the edges -- not sharp at all (despite there being no Wind that day to effect the Spray pattern) ..I ended up picking up a couple 2x4s, a 4 inch Roller, and a couple Gallons of White Parking Marker Paint and did the job much quicker -- with sharper Lines -- and at a substantial savings from having to buy the amount of Inverted Spray Paint Cans I would have had to purchase to repaint the 150 Lines I was tasked with.. Awful product, which surprised me coming from such a reputable Brand as Rustoleum..

I bought this for re-lining the parking lot at my church. It's fairly easy to set up, but the fork doesn't stay in place very well. Move the cart to the left or right or back it up and the fork pops out. There should have been holes in the fork, not slots. The operation is pretty straightforward. The cans of Rustoleum slide in very easily. But they don't last very long. We have 88 spaces in our parking lot, and it took three cases of paint even though the lines came out very light. Also, Rustoleum claims it makes a line up to 4 inches wide, but it comes out too faint at that size. I found 3 inches to be about as wide as I could go and have the lines show up well. All things considered, though, the unit is well-built out of steel, stays on course once it's lined up and is relatively cost effective compared with other options.
