Claim:
A spray container positioning device for use in positioning a spray container relative to a surface, wherein the spray container includes a nozzle that directs a spray onto a surface in a spray pattern, comprising: a light beam positioning arrangement for projecting at least one light beam toward the surface, for use in positioning the spray container and nozzle member relative to the surface, wherein the light beam positioning arrangement includes a light beam generator that generates a linear light beam; and a spray container mounting structure in association with the light beam positioning arrangement, wherein the spray container mounting structure is configured to support the light beam positioning arrangement on the spray container; wherein the spray container mounting structure and the light beam positioning arrangement are configured such that the linear light beam from the light beam generator is directed toward the surface within the spray pattern, wherein the linear light beam defines a point of light within the spray pattern upon striking the surface to provide a reference point for the user in determining the position of the spray container relative to the surface.
