I don't know if you can see my stripes on my NMT clearly enough, but I used masking tape for them from walmart. You heat it up a little to make it sticky and stretch a little. Use the end of a pen cap, you know that little stick to make sure it goes into the grooves otherwise you get funny little bleed marks. Otherwise just take your time and space them out properly.

Here are a couple skyline stripes that I've done. The first one is a 300 mm body. I still have that body. THe other one is a regular 200 mm skyline body that I sold already.

Just watch out for the fold and cracks
