I stripe parking lots for a living. That's right those yellow lines that tell you where to park...I paint those.

I wrote a book; How I Stripe a Parking Lot...15 Years...By Myself...
I would bill = invoice about $400.00 to Re-stripe a parking lot that had 150 cars and maybe a stencil or two.

The job would take 2 hours and I would spend $90.00 for paint.

If I had to Layout the parking lot and then Stripe = Paint it...I would bill = invoice $600.00 and it would take 3-4 hours. Paint would still cost $90.00.

I tell everything in my book...including what machine to buy. If you're looking for a great business start up...this could be it.
