I frequent these stores on occasion as I still use automotive paints (base coat - clear coat) but even these have got so horribly expensive lately. KlassKote has pretty much become my standard for color coats but I still use automotive clear coats when that is called for. KlassKote is less than half the cost of equivalent automotive paints for the same amount of coverage.

I'm surprised that you have a limited selection. Des Moines is 200 times the size of my town, and I can find most any color, and width, of tape that I desire.

I haven't looked, but there may be a good selection of auto trim tapes available online.
