vinyl tape stripes?

Ok, so to my understanding racing stripes are made out of vinyl tape. This stuff claims it is outdoor worthy and should last at least 5 years and that it can be used on cars boats etc. i know its ghetto and some people will probably flame for this but i figure if i do a good job it wont look half bad. i want a off centered rasta racing strip and i cant find anything like that. I figure itd cost about $10 and if i dont like it i could just peel it off.

^lol, yeah I agree.

If you really want quality vinyl stripes, I would get something that's intended for a cars paint. It may be able to withstand outdoor environments, but who knows what the adhesive is like?!?
