Andy,
I use the 3M fine line tape. It is awesome. It stretches and curves just
fine. Great stuff.

I would be inclined to use the 3M Fine Line tape. It's plastic and will
stretch around the curves in the stripes. But bring money; that stuff is
expensive!

Jake,
Having the old stripes is key. Without them it would practically be
impossible (laser levels?)
I wasn't lying about four hours of taping. It takes forever. Use the best of
the 3M blue tape and just move along the line. It has enough of a stretch so
you can do the length of the entire side without having to break it up. The
tricky part is the curve on the stern. Will take time and several pieces,
but patience will yield great results.
Make sure you shake up the paint a lot to thoroughly mix the polyurethane.
Apply with a roller for extra smooth surfaces and follow with a foam brick
to get rid of any air bubbles or imperfections. I was worried about the poly
solidifying on the tape, so as soon as I was done, I pulled the tape off.
As it dries, it glosses up and you find yourself staring at the hull in
amazement.
All the best,
Edd

Edd,
The new stripes look great. How did you get the tape on so straight? I'm
about ready to redo my red boot stripes, but I fear that I can't tape them
straight enough, even though I have the old lines to follow.

Listers,
This past weekend, after several years of trying product and
product, I redid the Enterprise's boot stripes from their heavily faded and
ugly-looking originals (
<http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PPVtbhIlO7g/UG2lYMX0jfI/AAAAAAAABm0/BmtAWuiDrUM/s
1600/spot2.JPG> see original look).
And, after much deliberation and hours with Photoshop in
deciding the new look, we decided on steel gray.
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15162917/steelgraystripes.jpg> Check
the finished look here.
4 hours of taping, 1 hour of painting and 15 minutes getting the
tape off. What a job, but VERY happy with the finished results. Sleek as
ever!
So now I'm left with two unopened quarts of Brightside Red and
Dark Blue. Does anyone want them? No cost -- just send me a PDF FedEx or UPS
shipping label and they're yours.
All the best,
Edd
