Get a sign writer to paint it on looks much better.

You can buy a pin striping machine quite cheap or mask and aerosol spray

I used a pin striping tool to paint mine on. Works like a cricket pitch roller in miniature. Worked very well, although you still need a steady hand. Results are excellent though.

Thanks for replys, I found some on ebay, 2mm red then 2mm gap then 2mm red total 6mm wide. I will cut this down the middle before sticking it on. £5, I agree painting would be the best way.

If its the self adhesive pin stripe from Ebay you won't have to cut down the middle. It can be split or used as a whole tape. Just remove the 2mm from the bakcing and use that.
