Not sure if this what you are after but I used this sign as inspiration.

Here's something I did last year with vinyl stripes. So far It has held up extremely well...

sweet cb, that would match my floor great. Where do you get vinyl tape like that?

 

[jxxxoxxxe]

Using that tape seems like a very good idea, and is probably easier....I just wonder about the cost? Any links cb804...???

Anyway, here is mine with my wife's Jeep on the lift...

cb804 nice Z! Don't see too many of those around at all. Are those Alpina rims?

Got the vinyl tape from here...

I used the Avery brand standard vinyl. The blue is 3" thick and the black is 1 1/2". The white in the middle is paint. I just knew that I would never get painted stripes to be so even, plus it was really easy... but a laser level is a must!

It's an Alpina Z8... a few different bits versus a "standard" Z8.

Im gonna bump this thread up in hopes of seeing some more designs. Ill be painting soon and plan on stripes or some sort.

Dang...this tape idea looks pretty good. It's cheaper than a gallon of paint!

Anyone else done it with tape?

Used Red and Yellow. These are painted (sprayed on) and look fine up close too.

Thanks for reading.

Ody.

Ive got some I've seen on the forum and have saved on my computer for ideas.

This was my garage at my last house. Grey on top(including the ceiling), and red on the bottom. The red was "quite red" from Lowes.

I don't know if I would recommend grey, it looked nice, but it didn't reflect light very well.
To get the dual tone, I used a laser level on the walls, and just used regular painters tape to mask it off.

I'm looking to do something similar in the new place as well, so keep the pics coming!

cb804,
That looks really good!

Nice bikes guys!

 

[Steves32]

Just did a simple painted stripe in BendPak blue to separate the grey from the white.

 

[Derrickwade]

Nice!

I took a bit different approach, I bought 1" x 0.5" trim and painted it red, then attached. Below is 1/8" hardboard painted gray, above will be painted bright white for light reflection.

I'm looking some time now for the best way to get a tire profile striping.

Not sure about vinyl.
I'm looking for long paint stencil for this.

here's mine... you'll have to scroll down a little to see the finished product... it was actually a fun project, I normally hate painting.. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80640
