If you want to tackle the stripe painting, it's not that difficult. You'll have to schedule which coat gets painted in a schedule.

Straight lines can be marked with a carpenters snap line and the tape is aligned with the snapped chalk line.
Green "Frog" tape is the most forgiving but standard masking tape works about as well.
