The machine makes up most of that. The remaining items are coincidental: 18-inch traffic cones, a 30-foot measuring tape, and so on. I know it might seem like a lot, especially when you’re having trouble. Therefore, do not yet buy anything. First, buy my book. Everything I use is listed. one small step at a time.

There’s no need for a real shop. The majority of strippers work out of their own garages. For 12 years, I did. A lot of them work from enclosed trailers. A facility like U Store It with 24-hour access may be rented by some. Again, no actual store is required.

No actual inventory The inventory consists of stencils and paint. Purchase paint en route to the gig, after you’ve been given the work. Only buy one stencil. Yes, I produce stencils. The age of my handicap stencil is 28. Stencils can be expensive once. Buy in stages. Buy as you get older.

You are not required to leave your day job. Not firefighters. Not teachers. I did. On your day off, strip the parking lot of the bank. Even if it requires two trips, strip the restaurant lot before they open.

Any economy in any way. I’ve experienced both. Parking lots are built, fixed, and sealed in good economic times. Strippers are essential. People only “Re-Stripe” when the economy is slow. During a slow economy, think about retail stores or car dealerships. They will select Re-Striping alone. I was still employed.

I needed a side hustle. Parking Lot Striping, also known as “Pavement Marking,” met the criteria. That means I need to be able to do this with a little money, some knowledge, and also make a living. Striping helped me make 165K. I take Winter off. That is in my book. When I first began, I was broke. It has nothing to do with money when you are broke. I am now not. It was difficult. I couldn’t talk to anyone. I wrote my book after working full-time as a stripper for 16 years; How I Mark a Parking Lot to Help Other People.
