I plan on buying a new 2005 mustang when they are available this fall. I have wanted one since the prototype was revealed about a year ago. For the last 6 months, I have had a photo of the new production mustang as the background on my computer, and it had racing stripes. Last week, I found out that racing stripes will not be an option this year, I had my heart set on them.

Right now, I am considering adding stripes myself, and I am looking for some tips and advice on how to do a quality job. I have one complete paint job under my belt, and I have some good equiptment.

I'm interested in going for a satin or flat black look. I know for sure that I don't want to have to reclear the whole panel(s) when I do it.

What kind of tape do I use?
How do I blend the stripe into the rest of the surface?
