Doug,

I tried using those stripes for the main body striipes. They were black 6" wide and it was a terrible ordeal. I could not them perfectly straight and I could not take them off, they PULLED OFF THE PAINT!

I recommend that you take the car to a professional painter and do it right. Use the tape to wrap wires or something.

If you are determined to try this and risk your paint job:

Use masking tape as a guide. If you want 1/2" gap between the two stripes, use 1/2" masking tape to set the angle. Use lots of soapy water to wet the car while you apply the tape to either side of the masking tape. Keep a wet sponge going to keep the tape from sticking until it is aligned with the masking tape perfectly. If the tape will not conform to the curves of the car correctly, use a hairdrier to heat it up. Do not use a plastic squeege on the tape! It scratches very easily, esp. the darker colors. Just work the bubbles out with your hand. If there are bubbles left after it all dries, use an X-acto knife to make a small slit at the edge of the bubble and force the air out.

My $50 tape kit cost me $3,100 for a new paint job.

GOOD LUCK!

Paul
