I use pin stiping tape myself. I like the nice crisp lines it leaves. And the way it goes around curves. Not to mention that is generally what I have on hand. But as Campy says, it is sticky stuff. To avoid the problem mentioned above, wait about 30 to 50 minutes after painting and then carefully remove the tape. Sometimes there is still a little glue residue left and that needs to be cleaned off. But I wait several days until the paint is cured.

And nothing tops off a cool paint job like clear coat. I have used the LusterKote Crystal Clear and man, oh man, that stuff works great !!
