gmJake Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 One of my jobs working for the city as painting all of the lines every summer. My paint gun is 22 years old and I keep throwing parts at it fixing it. They finally approved a new paint gun and motorized cart. No more pushing 300 lbs around. I'll prolly get fat now.

Downeast Johnny Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Got any mods planned? It does look like it could use a sun shade / Bimini top. Is it a big deal to change colors of paint your shooting? Beware the weight gain you could lower your SSS et. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC03SS Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 It's red your fav. Do I see twins coming?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmJake Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Twins Yup, red just like both trucks. It takes about 15 minutes to switch from yellow to white. The gun has to be flushed with water. The gun has a 7 hp Suburu engine. The cart has a 6 hp Suburu. Top speed 10 mph. Cost: $10,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stg313 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Looks like entertainment to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmJake Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 A cab would just hold in heat. I couldn't even hear a radio unless I had headphones. Then I wouldn't be able to hear traffic for the idiot that is about to run me over. It is entertainment to me. I've been pushing for 13 years. Now I get to drive.

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 I had a few close calls. I figure workmans comp if I get hit. Or worse None of our mowers here have cabs. Even my backhoe and endloader doesn't have air.

gmJake Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I just found these in the shed. I'm hoping that it improves my 0-10 mph times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmJake Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 First day using it today finally after over a month. School sarts in 2 weeks and i have to paint all of the crosswalks. I got twice as much painted then when i had to push the old painter. I am smokin on this thing. The Suburu engines are smooth. I didn't realize how much a piece of shit a 22 year old line striper was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it take any time to get familiar with it? Got any cup holders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
