How'd you do the white striping??

I cleaned them up by hand then threw them in the dish washer (don't tell the wife) then I primed them. I layed down the white first (2 coats, 30min between coats). Then I used fine line tape you can get at any auto paint supplier and taped off the lines (this stage will make you go crosseyed). Then used 2 coats of ford blue. Pulled the tape and layed down 2 coats of clear. I used all high temp paint.
