Jantrix Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hmm...........that's a tough one. A Google search showed it to be alternating white/red. The red could be a transparent red over Bare Metal Foil but the white .............I'm gonna have to chew on that one a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Spaulding Trading and Shipping carries this - it is reflective too. They have it as a sheet and you cut it to the size/length you want. http://www.stsmodeltrucks.com Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Check with Line-O-Tape: http://www.lineotape.com/shop/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=55&cat=LineOTape They sell the DOT reflective tape. Also Jbot has the DOT tape as a decal sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackinac359 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Is the Line-O-Tape reflective? I can't remember if it is. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The conspicuity tape offered by Line-O-Tape as mentioned is your best bet. I've used it in the past. OR you can use the real stuff. Use a straight edge and cut sections out to the scale you're working w/. 3M is thick. too thick for a model. Grote has some really thin conspicuity tape that would work well on a model however it's grey and red not white. Something else I've used for trailer reflectors is this. Truklite has round paper thin reflectors. Peel the backing off and stick it on. I used a hole punch and it made perfect scale size reflectors for model trailers. Use the discarded part that is punched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skulls Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It doesnt specify on there(that I can see of), but what is the length that roll comes in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) I think its a 3ft roll, I dont remember, when I ordered my roll from line o tape, he told he would mail the roll , and when I received it to then send a check, something that dose not happen very much anymore.
