Pactra used to make this great stuff called line and trim tape or something along those lines.

Google image, this stuff; Works great, it's okay with curves, adheres well, but it's just hard to find now or at least it was a couple months ago.



This isn't the best example, but I did the lines on this 20+ year old body with "Graphic Chart Tape" from Amazon - I ordered 1/64" but 1/32" is what showed up. It was only $5 or $6 so I figured might as well use it.

The Graphic Chart Tape doesn't adhere as well nor does it curve/bend as well, but that could just be the particular brand I ended up with. Applying heat helped with that though.



The narrowest lines on this body were done with 1/64"

I think I have a few of those little canister tapes lying around. Never actually used them, if I recall correctly.

Great info, Thank you!, I'll look into that.
