it is possible to do curves that aren't too tight, the tape is vinyl, so it
does stretch some, and you just need to take your time on it, but unlike
paint (which i personally wouldn't touch on my truck, i would pay someone
who is good) you can just peel it off if you step back and it doesn't look
"right". the stripeing is fairly cheep so you can afford to "waste" a roll
during practice and not worry too much.
