The attachment was a success. <br /> It takes third less time to paint a typical soccer field and uses 20 to 30 <br /> percent 1 ss paint. At sites with multiple fields, moving the sprayer from <br /> one field to the next will be much faster and its easier to load and unload. <br /> It also u es larger batches of paint, allowing the paint to be mixed and <br /> handled i larger quantities, which saves additional time. <br /> The ost for the modification were minimal: less than $600 for parts and <br /> about 60 ours of staff time.
