Parking lot line striping is always listed in those "best business start up" books. I agree. I've been striping parking lots alone since 1993. Now I've written a book. My book will teach you; How I Stripe a Parking Lot...15 Years...By Myself.

Easy To Start

• $2000.00 to $4000.00...and most of that is machine. Trust me...
  You don't want it to be any less. If it were, anyone could do it and you'd be out of a job.

• Work part time at first. You're jobs will be few and after hours.
  So, when church is out or school is closed (and parking lots are empty)
  ...schedule the work, around your current job. 

Easy To Maintain

• Buy stencils once and only when you need them. Mine are 15 years old.
  They're plastic. Overspray dries. Peel it off. Use them forever.

• Buy paint only when you need it. After you get the job and on your way to work...
  buy the paint = no inventory!

Easy to Operate

• Work from your own garage. I did for 12 years.
  A striping machine takes up the same space as a lawn mower.

• Do you have a small pick up truck? Ramps?...or a small landscaping trailer?     
  I now rent a "you storage" type garage...gated, with 24 hour access.

Economy

• In a good economy... people build buildings and parking lots. I have work.
• In a bad economy... people will only stripe the existing parking lot. I have work.

Parking Lot Striping is a BEST BUSINESS Start Up !
