If you use 3M fineline tape, it will produce a crisp hard line for your stripes. You can use regular automotive masking tape for your masking paper up to the fine-line tape.

Buried stripes are incorrect and points will be deducted for them. I'm old school, I don't like buried stripes unless it's custom work where it is required. If stripes are chipping on the edges then the prep was wrong.

When the stripes are minimally cut and then buffed there will not be very hard tape edge. It's softened by the process and looks fine.
