I love this stuff. 1st time use is a pita if you didn't read the directions on how to start it, but what a good solution overall for avoiding cuts over paint.

Gulf livery is 3m metallic blue & the lighter orange in the Oracal 970RA

the David Piper Livery (green car) Is Hexis Emerald Green + Hexis White.

I just did this two days ago with knifeless. I kinda didn't like it because it was giving me trouble getting it started since it was just dangling off of the car. I can see it being way better being stuck to something. It was nice though just laying vinyl down and not worrying about keeping stuff straight. Seemed quicker than pre cut stuff. I'm sure using it more it will get better, but that was my first time and it was a little rough at times for how simple I felt starting tape should be.

The first time I used Knifeless I hated it, But at the time, I was not running a shop, and had wrapped that green car and cut all stripes by hand for some extra cash I needed. After the owner saw me do his car by hand, He decided to help invest in my business and we now are doing pretty decent for a new small business.

I did all the striping here by hand.


Modeled after this car

and I used this for my template layout,

If you are curious how I managed to get the other side to match nearly identically, I used ALOT of masking tape and dry erase markers. Owner was more than pleased.

better question:
can you use knifeless tape on a woven wallcovering material like Ultraflex wallpaper or phototex? (if not familiar, it may as well be banner media)

We just recently used knifeless tape for the first time and are very pleased with it also. Great product.

Doesn't seem like it'd work with Phototex.
