this all depends upon how you want it striped, if you just want the tape,
do it yourself, if your going to have someone else do it, i would recommend
having it painted on, (can't give a cost on this i used the tape).
the tape is a fairly easy process and helps if you have 2 people. the
method i used to get a straight line was to wrap it around the edge (i.e.
front of the bed) then have my helper hold it while i walked to the back of
the truck unrolling the tape and keeping it pretty tight, then just slowly
lay it against the truck where you want it to finish. go back to your
starting point and press it against the truck. and here are my last to tips:
1. whenever possible have the ends wrap around something
2. use a dot of clear nail polish to "seal" the ends of the tape to the truck.
