The lot has to be empty, so he's there at five before the shopping center opens, blower in hand clearing grit off the asphalt because paint won't bond to dust. This is a re-layout, the owner wants the rows angled differently, which means he's snapping fresh chalk lines and pulling the measuring wheel to get stall widths and the fire lane right. The old lines are still faintly there, ghosting up, so he'll have to black those out or they'll read through the new paint and confuse drivers. He loads the striper, dials the gun, and walks the first long line, eyes locked on the chalk, because a wavering line on a parking lot is visible from across the lot and screams amateur. The handicap stalls are the part that keeps him up: the access aisle has to be the right width, the symbol stencil square, the signage right, because ADA gets inspected and getting it wrong means doing it again free. He times the whole job against the dry, because the store opens at nine and cars rolling over wet paint is a callback. Sun's up, the paint's flashing off, and he's pulling cones as the first customers pull in. Then it's load up and onto the next lot before the heat makes the asphalt too hot to work.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a parking lot striper's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a parking lot striper — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
