Automobile Pin Striping

I use double yellow striping for the centerline on my roads.

I use adhesive backed for the paint stripes on roads, parking lots, etc.  I've used it a few times on repaints of locos and rolling stock, too.

Yes, I used the 1/16" pinstriping for road markings as well.  Came out looking pretty good if you ask me.

I've used 1/8" pin striping tape on my control panel to indicate track routing.  Since it comes in so many different colors, I was able to color code my whole panel for main line tracks, passing sidings, different routes, yards and stations, etc.  Works easily, produces a neat, even line and can be removed if I change the track diagram for any reason.

Pinstriping tape works well but I believe the thinnest is 1/16" or 3 scale inches in O.

For thinner stripes you have to use decals or dry transfers.

The yellow stripe is pinstripe tape:

Chart tape can be purchased at many business supply stores; it too is available in many colors.

I used the tape for my control panels. The tape is on a Formica finish.  Some are over 28 years old and no problems.

I use it on my simplistic control panel schematic for throwing turnouts powered by Tortoise.

The front, rear, and sides are all pin stripping.

I haven't used the 1/1 stuff, but make frequent use of detail striping tape from Pactra.  It comes in a variety of colors, one roll includes various widths, it lasts a long time and is easy to apply. I use it for diesel sill stripes (first picture below) and for safety stripes on step edges (second picture, steps just below the walkway that are omitted on factory three-rail models):

Rich,

Nice looking applications.  What is the 1/1 type you are refering too?
