snollan 3 Posted October 13, 2002 Has anybody tried to use rolled pinstripe as the maskingtape for fine lines. It tends to bend better and it has a film to protect it while you put it on. Its also paint-resistant. In fact I'm going to try some today, I'll post pics later tonight. -Sean ------------------------- I am so smart, I am so smart! S-M-R-T..I mean S-M-A-R-T!!

snollan 3 Posted October 13, 2002 So far I'm very happy with the results. Very little bleeding only one part came up and that was where the primer lifted as well. My line was super straight and easy to pull off. Pics soon I swear. ------------------------- I am so smart, I am so smart! S-M-R-T..I mean S-M-A-R-T!!

TWINSET 1793 Posted October 14, 2002 Mornin' How wide is this pinstripe to start with? Is it 1:1 scale decoration, or is it specifically a masking product? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snollan 3 Posted October 14, 2002 It is made for full size cars. The size that I bought: 1/4" x 40' tomato red. 1/8" x 40' blue 5/16" x 40' vivid blue. As the body gets finish the 5/16" will give me a double stripe and I used the 1/4" for the body stripe on the side. The products name is PROSTRIPE Company Name: Spartan International Inc. 1845 S. Cedar St Holt, MI 48842 This can be found in any autoparts store. I have found a hobby version at my LHS but I can't remember who makes it. I like it because I can bend it. <--way better than tamiya tape!! I'll post some more pics on how I mask it in a couple hours. ------------------------- I am so smart, I am so smart!

J3cubfan 0 Posted October 14, 2002 Hi Sean: How did the pinstrips do around complex curves? I've alway had a problem with those. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snollan 3 Posted October 14, 2002 I'm just getting ready to do the top of it right now. I think the stuff does better than the maskingtape does for sure. ------------------------- I am so smart, I am so smart! S-M-R-T..I mean S-M-A-R-T!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
