Best way to paint stripes on.
Like the title says I want to paint 2 stripes on the car on the hood top and spoiler deck and so on. How have previous guys went about doing this. I want them to be straight and look good. I painted the entire car last weekend and am looking to make it look even better

Re: Best way to paint stripes on.
I have my own style , and had a pro do it but you get a general idea.
You use a combination of paper and pin striping tape to lay the stripe and outer lines.
The white marks are reflection from the light/camera.

Re: Best way to paint stripes on.
Use the pin stripe tape or you will get bleed when you lift the tape off, you want a good clean edge, did you clear the car already? I like to bury my stripes under the clear so you do not feel them. Once I color sand the car they are smooth to the touch, mine are just blue pearl and fade away at night unless you get under a light.
