I'd say bent plate would be better, but more complex to make of course....you might find that the flat one would suffice. The spring loaded pins would work either way

would this still work if the posts were chopped a bit to allow the spray painters to paint OVER it to allow less chance of paint dripping.

my understading is the rollers do the painting?

Thats what i thought but the rollers act as tiny wheels close to the steel which separate it from the template which allows for rotation of the steel.

I THINK?????????????

painting done by spray gun

something like this would work if it hinged open. you wouldn't be-able to just whip it off after painting...smudged paint = start again.

what i have seen before is a similar design as above and mentioned but the foam acted as a sponge, dipped in paint, and when hinged/wrapped around the object, applied the paint in required areas or the area that the sponge was cut to suit.

yer.....but hoping to keep manual labour in the use of the spray guns as its more efficient.

Might see if that sponge idea can be incorporated into the designs

maybe the PVC pipe could be cut in half the from top to bottom and then strong thin magnets could line the joints so after painting simply remove each half, replace steel join halves and start the next.

Even after removing the pipe the newly painted steel could be vigorously rotated to maximise drying time.

agree with MrWato.

Must be hinged, would need a quick wipe to make sure there were no yellow smudges when fitted to the next bollard. Sure I've seen something similar to that, but it wasn't for bollards...

TCC eh? Recognised the background
