Abstract
A stripe painting apparatus is attachable to square opening hitch receivers mounted on the rear of a pickup truck or other vehicle. The apparatus includes a transverse tubular sleeve in which a boom may be slidably locked to extend outwardly to the left or right. A forwardly extending carriage with a wheeled front end pivots on the boom and carries paint spray heads and applicators for distributing reflective beads onto the wet paint. The carriage pivots between a lower operating position and a locked upright position for highway transport. A pair of crankable jacks with elongate feet mounted on the jack legs are cranked down for ground support during mounting and removal of the apparatus from the vehicle, and for storage of the apparatus. A line guide mounts at any location of a steel vehicle body, enabling one-person operation of the apparatus from the driver's seat using a remote control box.
