The SprayTech 0290953A Handibead Portable Bead Dispenser is a genuine OEM replacement unit that attaches to compatible PowrLiner airless stripers. It holds a supply of reflective glass beads and dispenses them evenly onto wet paint lines immediately after the spray tip, ensuring instant bead adhesion and long‑lasting retroreflectivity.
Over time, bead dispensers can become clogged with dried paint or debris, suffer from mechanical wear, or be damaged by impact. A faulty dispenser results in uneven bead application, excessive waste, or poor nighttime visibility of the stripe. Replacing with the OEM Handibead unit restores consistent bead flow, proper coverage, and professional‑grade striping results.
