They are hard to get right.

The first time I painted my boat I taped off the cove stripe right where the
indent meets the hull, it ended up too wide and looked funny.

After painting this time I still haven’t done the cove stripe but I’m
leaning toward ½” tape stripe.

Subject: Stus-List Cove Stripe Painting

 

Speaking of boot stripes but a couple of feet higher, has anyone had
difficulty repainting their cove stripe, which on Ox is engraved and has
uneven edges? 

 

The first attempt I assigned to my son, hoping he'd become more detail
oriented. For the second attempt I used a 1/4"(?) roll of painters tape that
I circumscribed with a razor into two 1/8" rolls and tried it myself. 

 

It was difficult to tape a straight edge because it encompassed three
dimensions. I eventually settled on a compromise that is now unpleasant to
the eye.
