I started with the red stripe around the sides and back. This was more difficult than you would think. Since the edges of the different pieces of weather stripping and mouldings don't line up, I had to do some bending and trimming to keep the outer edge of the stripe looking right. The Astons look to have used 2" tape. Since the Miata is so much smaller, I went with 1" tape. I had to do each piece about 3 times to get them right, but I'm liking the results so far. (I have a few bubbles on the drivers door, so Ill probably have to re-do it tomorrow.)
Tomorrow, I'll be working on the flat black parts of the hood and the windshield frame.
