I built my roads now lines

Hi I don't have any pictures right now but in the past I have had good luck with pinstriping that a friend of mine wo owns a collision shop got for me. Bright yellow and white looked great.

I use white and yellow 1/8 pinstripe tape.  I rub it with #600 sandpaper to dull its sheen.  Works nicely.

Take yellow spray paint and paint a broad line where you want your lines. Take pin striping and place it on the yellow paint (when dry) where you want your lines to go. NOW spray paint your roads in either Black or gray then before the paint dries peel off the pin striping. You will have a GREAT roadway.

1/8" automobile pin-striping tape is what I've used.

I've used a white "Grease" pencil (also called a Artist's pencil). This avoids the "too perfect" look of tape.

I used a China Marker.

Pin striping tape works great.  I painted the proposed roadway a nice grey, used a very fine marker for the expansion joints and yellow and white tape for the lines.  Then I used an air brush to fog in the oil and dirt lines with black paint.  Good luck!
