I know what you mean about stripes, what a pain. I just taped off mine last night and painted it. Will take off the tape tonight to see how it worked out. I had a really hard time getting everything straight though. Crossing my fingers for the unveiling tonight.
When I did my seat I waited until it was dry (next day actually), worked out fine. After I removed it I just wetsanded to remove the raised edge and then clear coated it. Now you have me worried though.
I used normal painters tape for the outside lines, but I have two smaller inside stripes and I used vinyl tape for those. Creates a nice line but you have to be careful that you don't stretch it when putting it down as the width of the line narrows a bit then. Creates an uneven width line.
Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I used tape to make the stripe but I free handed the silver. Tonight I will tape it again and fix the silver. I just have two questions:
What kind of tape should i use on the red paint? I REALLY dont want it to peel up

Looks good. Depending on what kind of paint you used, the red shouldn't peel with masking tape. I've used painter's green fineline for all my painting and striping. I have a Beugler striping tool as well, and it works awesome with a little practice. Never could find the vinyl tape. Anyway, if you clear the flat black with gloss clearcoat, it will turn glossy. There are certain rattlecan clears out there that are also flat or matte finish. You may have to look around for it, but they're out there. As well, you could always just wet sand the black part to make it flat again.
