Primer Sprayers
Surface Prep for Preformed Tape
Century Tool primer sprayers lay down the consistent, even primer coat that lets preformed pavement-marking tape achieve a full, lasting bond. Manufactured alongside our road tape applicators in Rogers, Minnesota, they give striping crews the surface-preparation control that separates markings lasting one season from markings lasting for years.
Proper Priming Is Why Tape Stays Down
Adhesion failures in preformed tape almost always trace back to the surface: dusty, uneven, or under-primed pavement. A controlled primer application creates the tacky, uniform base coat that preformed tape adhesives are designed to grab. Skip it or do it unevenly and edges lift under traffic; do it right and the marking wears rather than peels.
How the Primer Sprayer Works
The crew fills the sprayer with the recommended primer, sets the spray line, and applies an even band ahead of the tape crew. Even coverage and controlled width mean no dry spots, no puddling, and no wasted primer just a clean, uniform base ready for the applicator to follow.
- Fill: Add the recommended primer to the tank.
- Set: Adjust the spray line and width.
- Apply: Lay down an even primer coat.
- Ready: For tape application and a strong bond.

Road Tape Pairs With Century Tool Road Tape Applicators
The primer sprayer and road tape applicator are built to work as a system: prime with one, apply with the other, and standardize a repeatable, high-bond process across every crew and every job. Buying both from the same American manufacturer means one support contact and parts that fit.
Primer sprayer specifications
Our primer sprayer is the PS-14 Primer Spray Applicator. A wheel-driven gear pump feeds the spray nozzle as the operator walks forward, and the steel frame rolls on three wheels. The recommended 6-inch spray pattern for 4-inch tape covers about 450 lineal feet per gallon of 3M™ P-50 adhesive.
