Recently, I've been doing quite a few bodies with stripes - and doing it with lots and lots of masking tape (in many widths, mind).

Is there a better way? All this masking does seem to take forever.

I've been doing stripes so that the tape of each stripe overlaps the last stripe by an even 1mm. sometimes if it's got narrower curves, I use thinner tape (like 3mm) and fill in the void behind up the the previous stripe with more tape.

Any suggestions apprecaited - thanks! I'd thought about spray masks, etc, but wouldn't it be very tough to get the lines nice and perfectly straight? any tips about that?

Cheers,
Ty
