1. A paint-striping system, comprising:

  • a paint-striping machine including;

    a carriage configured to move along pavement,a downwardly oriented nozzle configured to dispense paint and thereby form a paint stripe on the pavement as the carriage moves along the pavement,an outrigger operably connected to the carriage, wherein the outrigger includes an elongate rod, anda coupler configured to provide a releasable connection between the nozzle and the rod, wherein the coupler is repositionable along a length of the rod to change a height of the nozzle relative to the pavement;

    a guidance system operably connected to the paint-striping machine, wherein the guidance system includes;

    a light-emitting device configured to form a planar light region having a vertical orientation, anda mounting and containment assembly configured to provide an adjustable connection between the light-emitting device and the paint-striping machine, wherein the mounting and containment assembly includes;

    an adjustment mechanism operable to move the light-emitting device relative to the paint-striping machine and thereby change a yaw angle of the planar light region,a housing,a support carrying the housing, anda clamp configured to grip the rod and thereby releasably secure the support to the outrigger;

    wherein the light-emitting device includes a laser disposed within the housing.
