Strips, White or otherwise???

[Toddy]

I wanted cream/ivory stripes but they just didnt look right to me, I tried changing the blues but the only thing that worked for me was going with white stripes.
Get your spray shop to do you you some tests. Mine did me a bonnet in my final choice just to make sure I was happy

Your right. I guess you have this diagram Tapered stripes
I think the thing that screwed it up for me was the wide bonnet scoop on the Dax. The stripes to those dimensions didn't look right on the scoop and I had to match the width of the stripes to my circle masks that were laser cut at my local sign writers.
I made them parallel and adjusted the width until I was happy with the look.

Yes Craig that`s the info on stripes i`ve got, the paint shop use 2 pack and spray in the white first then mask up and apply water based main colour over so thats when i`ll see if the tapering works or not, thanks for all advice as always.
