d2_willys Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Need to know how those stripes at the bottom of the rear bumper are put on. Are they just a form of pin striping? Anyone out there that knows how they go on, the help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Buy a roll of thin, mechanical drawing tape (plastic or vinyl tape) at a drafting supply store or blueprint store. About 3/8" width is right. Stick this stuff on where you don't want paint to adhere. Then, paint the whole thing with black paint. Remove the tape as soon as paint dries but don't wait for hours, as the black paint will eventually migrate under the tape if you leave it on too long. The result, when I did it this way, was amazing!Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
