I’ve been putting the tank off, but will tackle it today now that most everything else is done. I also got the 2k clear coat that I saw was being used on the paint thread. I also used the engine paint they recommended. I need to do some touch ups with a small brush once the engine is in the frame, but it came out good.

I found out the stripe is 5mm and someone on eBay (I think he might be part of this group), was selling the tape. I bought some and my painter has used it with great success on my restos. Check eBay out.

I was told 5 mm was the width of factory stripes.

Spent all day and until about midnight last night finishing the tank and it came out great. The tape stripe was actually pretty easy. It was about tipping the tank on my lap to show the shadow of the ridge line to use as a guide as I applied the stripe. I posted my results and paint on the paint thread. Thanks everyone for the tips!

Did you round the rear corner of the pinstripe for personal preference?
When they came from the factory it was a sharp 90° corner.
