Also the color red I ordered seems to be a bit too bright, i'd recommend getting something a bit deeper in color if you can find it. Also, I recommend getting tape that is on a spool/aplicator vs. being cut up into individual pieces (which the kit i got was).

The stripes are easy to put on, simply clean the wheels, wipe them with alcohol, dry then apply.
I was planning on having it painted. And since i wasn't sure i was going to like it, I've been holding off. I had no idea they made tape for that. Sounds like a great way to test it out . I'll definitely get some, to at least try it out for a while and see if i like it. If i still like it after a month or so, I'll probably do it in paint. Thank you for the info!
