Default Pin Striping Tape

Is there any pin striping tape available besides Pactra?

Kyosho offers Micron tape, in various sizes.

I've read that's really nice stuff, and in narrower widths then Pactra offers.

Thanks for the link Nathan I'll check it out.

And thanks for the info on the 3m tape kdz76. I'll stop by our local body shop supply store and see if they carry it.

Your very welcome. One more thing about that tape though that I remembered this morning it is more of a plastic tape so when you apply it try not to stretch it or it will distort and loose its sharp edge and allow bleed through

Any Napa body and paint store will carry the good 3m pin striping tapes. That's where I got all mine from anyways.
