To get the right look it\u2019s important to understand that preparation is the key not just going for it with the paint.<\/p>\n<p>Personalisation has been around in the motorcycle world from the beginning of time. From custom motorcycles to helmets and clothing, riders want something unique that reflects their personal style.<\/p>\n<p>Phillip Dranfield, from Paint Nation, one of the UK\u2019s leading helmet detailers opened the day with a demo for everyone who attended on how to use the right tape for the best look when respraying. Take a look at one of his last demos here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UChQbMunyxWzEiyF0sX9mdSg\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UChQbMunyxWzEiyF0sX9mdSg<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The right tape for the right job<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the video, you\u2019ll see what a sweet custom paint job Philliip did with JTAPE tapes. You might also notice our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jtape.com\/en-us\/product\/customizing-tape\/\">customising tape<\/a>, striping tape, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jtape.com\/en-us\/product\/green-fine-line-masking-tape\/\">green fine line masking tape<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jtape.com\/en-us\/product\/premium-masking-tape\/\">premium masking tape<\/a> in action, being put to amazing design use as well as covering the air vents and face shield.<\/p>\n<p>When working on projects like this, we know that precision is key. That\u2019s why JTAPE offers a range of multifunctional tapes to help achieve the finished look.<\/p>\n<p>Our customising tape uses a thermally stabilised PVC backing with a rubber based pressure sensitive adhesive. This makes it highly flexible, easy to curve and gives it the perfect balance between hold and clean removal with a sharp separation line. It has eight pre-cut fine line lengths for a range of patterns and is ideal for creating a multi-coloured finish with a clean, sharp look where colours meet.<\/p>\n<p>The striping tape does what it says on the tin. If you\u2019re creating pinstripes or a design with fine lines, you\u2019ll need this tape for definition. It\u2019s also great for enhancing the curves on bodywork and creating more intricate designs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customisation with JTAPE Whether you\u2019re working on cars, vans, trucks or motorcycles, when it comes to customising, the aim of the game is precision and creativity.
