Matt Carlton Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hello, After a long and ultimately fruitless search on eBay, Google and Amazon, I thought I would ask for help. I am looking for some striping tape, like automotive pin striping or similar, in red, white and blue, around 9-12mm wide (ie each colour 3-4mm wide). I have found some 25mm wide which is too big, and some from the US at $85 for a roll, but so far, nothing else. There are hundreds of tapes of various widths, colours, styles, but nothing that fits the bill. If not, I'll have to lay it up from seperate strips, but I'm not great at that sort of thing. Any ideas? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engine Doctor Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 You will have difficulty finding it nowadays. It's old hat in the car world. Have contacted any of the sellers on ebay? They may be able to get some in for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven S Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I use Hanger 9 Ultrastripe here in Canada. It's available on Amazon and comes in all kinds of colours and widths, along with multi stripes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Carlton Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 I've pinged off a couple of messages and I'll see what comes back. Hangar 9 ultrastripe is a new one on me, I'll have a look. Might be able to get some sent over. Thankyou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Would this stuff do? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Model-Techinics-Trim-Line-Self-Adhesive-Line-Tape-Stripe-for-Model-Car-Aircraft/193473002318 The colour bands are from 1mm to 10mm wide, on paper backing with a removable transfer tape on top. You can easily use just one or more of the stripes as you need. I stocked up at a show some time ago with black & gold which is my default colour scheme. If you search 'Model Trim Tape' you can find some other options for products & retailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Carlton Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 That would do at a pinch, assuming that I could lay the three separate stripes down neatly. That said, I could cut a wider white stripe from film and lay the red and blue on top. Food for thought certainly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyGnome Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 That trimline sticks pretty well in my experience....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Trim Line is pretty good. Clear nail varnish the ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
