    Those look real clean.
    I'm normally pretty torn on blackouts but those are 10/10.
    Do mine? haha

    I used some standard blue painter's tape on one of these. Some of the chrome laminate lifted off the inner edge of the ring. :(

    I've used color-rite in the past but for my last project (speed triple below) I went with these folks:
    Spray Paint | Aerosol Touch Up | AutomotiveTouchup
    and really like the results. I just noticed they now offer the green line of tape the OP is talking about. That answers my question on pricing.

    NOTE: they aren't kidding about respirators for the clearcoat but you really should use one with the paints too. I, unfortunately, found their clear isn't really gasoline proof so I use the KK7 clear from ColorRite Motorcycle Paint for the tank. I've found the rattle cans deliver the same quality as a low end gun but with much less to go wrong. Color-rite sells pints and quarts for guns if you prefer that route. They didn't carry the Triumph red so I went automotive which also allows me to get touch up pens from any auto store.

    Sprayed in 2007 Ford Mustang Red (fresh, no polishing yet):

    Thanks guys for that tape I did a lot of research and the tape is very easy on the chrome..

    @ fotomoto green tape 3M Precision Masking Tape 06529 is much much better… $5-6 bucks
    @ Swampthingg man the masking is a really hard on the inside of the ring
    And thanks Mr Bigh.
