the board would open the nozzle on and off depending on the speed of the car.

4 or 5 nozzles but the pressure feeding them would need to adjusted for the speed too.

Its just a series of on off, code wise, but nozzles ans pressure would have to be calculated.

The piping system would need to be pressurized so... it couldn't be just pvc and definitely not regular paint unless it had quality connectors.

It needs quick dry paint, a pump system, a board that can be dialed to speed,.. phone dying here. Spitballing but totally possible

Honestly thing any suggestions here could work. We'd have to test them all for results. No matter what, the message gets made right?

I'm honestly happy so many folks are interested in this.

Yup, I was thinking about that. The speed of the vehicle would have to slow and likely industrial nozzles and thickish paint for super clean lines.

If large enough it wouldn't matter (think 3 to 4 lanes of a highway but rhat would take more passes ans have to be precise)

With more nozzles and entire sign could be painted while waiting at a traffic light. That would take some experimenting with but all of this would.
