[quote=solsailer18][quote]I found this 3M striping tape (called Scotchcal I believe) but my difficulty is in the aft end of the stripe where it widens and angles downward. Does anyone have an idea of how to do that for less than $100? I had a vinyl shop give me a quote of $200. Maybe paint?[/quote]
If you got a Quote for $200 to do both sides in the configuration you want, I would buck up and pay. Striping is not hard on a short flat surface but without technique and practice, it's next to impossible on a long curved surface. If you want it to look factory, have a professional do it. If you want it close but not quite,then forget the narrowing and curves and just lay it out following the patterns from the original and terminate them at the bow with an angled cut that matches the boats lines. You'll get roughly the same effect and save yourself the vulgarity excersise.
Oh yeah, and do not paint on those stripes. If you can't lay out vinyl tape in a straight line then you can't mask off the stripes for paint any better. Just my .02<!-- editby --><em>Edited by solsailer18 on Apr 09, 2013 - 01:55 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
