OK. So I want to practice painting flames. Where do I get that narrow tape and what is it called? I am talking about that tape where they initially tape off the flame designs.

I am thinking of doing some scrp metal, wood then possibly a mailbox or 2. If I get brave enough, I may one day do my car.

You should be able to find what you need here:

Beyond that, I'm of no use at all. I've dabbled with body work and paint and suck at it.

i poked around in there last night and saw just about every width of tape under the sun including masking sheets. In the category search drop dwon window look under "Masking".

Thanks, I just ordered some from eastwoodco.com. Probably get it locally too, but unless they have it at autozone, there is nothing like that in my area. Thats what I get for living in the burbs.
