Looking for a source for pin striping tape (not masking tape) for an upcoming project. Previously I have used Line-O-Tape which came in various widths and colors but doesn't seem to be available any longer. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

I bought some matte black Chartpak graphic art tape from Amazon in hope to find a better solution for the hood paint on the Revell 69 Boss 302 and 71 Boss 351. It looks nice, but I haven't tried it yet. It's available down to 1/64 inch.

I have used the Chartpak tape and I like it. One warning, tho, it is not a perfectly consistent width, it varies a bit as you go thru the roll. You can usually get a piece long enough for what you are doing, but you have to pay attention. It might be a little thick too, but should work. I used it for the outlines on the wings of this B-52. This is the 1/32" width.

Some auto parts stores have pin strip tape. I have never looked that close at them, I imagine that 1/16" would be the smallest they would carry.
