If you have built up a skin of paint, over the tape, while applying the colour for your coachline, do not pull the tape off towards the coachline. It will pull and peel off the paint, into your coachline. Any advice would be greatly received. Although I don't think I could cope with anything other than agreement on the colours I've chosen, changing my mind one more time might just mean she stays in undercoat!! :lol: Our tape offering includes reflective tapes, silicone tape, standard masking tapes, and heavy duty masking tapes that are more resistant to weight and weather. Epoxy glues Cut down a 4" gloss roller wider than gap. You can use the same gloss paint type as cabin side paint. I would thin it down slightly to ease roller work. At least two coats will be needed.

Do all of the main cabinside paintwork first. Leave it for a couple of days to cure. Too soon and you will leave tape marks in your work. The same at the gunnels. You can use this first set-up to mark off your inch gap to lay the inside tape. Work top and bottom at the same time if you want. Roll a 4' stretch and lay off with a two inch or slightly larger brush. I prefer to lay off in line with cabin side paintwork. Usually vertical. Specialist car glues, putty and sealants are hard-wearing products that are built for a life on the road. They’re also able to withstand the weather. We have specialist car tapes too that will help you to carry out rapid repairs and detailed restorations or touch-ups. If you need cable ties, we’ve got those too for those urgent fixes (and for tying up cables too). Any great mechanic knows that to get the best results, you need the best products. While you may have some old glue or tape in the cupboard or the toolbox, car glues, adhesives, tapes and sealants are created to high-standards, which mean they won’t damage or destroy the finish on your car.Skinning is one reason I prefer applying in at least two goes, avoiding skinning between the tape and the coachline, to a degree that would make tape removal a problem. If you want to pull the tape off soon after the paint has settled - pull off into the coachline to avoid any strings of paint being left on the main paintwork, outside the coachline area.
