Title: Stripe job I did.
Post by: Blazin on February 11, 2009, 12:30:41 am

Buddy of mine, mobile welding truck. Painted them once before, but he had the body repainted under warranty. Been bugging me for two years to repaint the stripe!
I tried to take detail pics to show the steps.

Shows at each cabinet door the gap left when the tape is cut to wrap around the edge.
