Best way I found was to mask off the black, take it from the corner of the rear wheel opening up and over the the rear wheel arch to the back, like a big check mark. Then mask off the silver. Start at 1/4 inch behind the front wheel opening and make a bigger check mark that covers the black one. It should be about 1/4 wide above the black over the rear wheel opening. The stipes should have a 1/8 inch gap in the front. Just use 1/8" stripe tape on the outside then use, regular on the inside to make the straight side, then another piece to make the wider part to the 1/4 from the corner of the front window. Now tape off the rear brace bars for silver, just use regular masking tape and a very sharp, new Xacto knife and cut out the tape from the areas you don't want silver - kinda hard to explain, but now it is all taped off. Start with red, then unmask the silver, then the silver, unmask the black, then the black and presto - painted body. Make sense?

Bowties will not last long on asphalt. If you are going to run long a black top, get a street tire.
