Don,
I've seen the pinstripping tape in various width's,1/8 to 1/2 inch, in
several larger parts stores. Autozone and Advance Auto are two that come
to mind.
When I worked at the local GMC/Pontiac dealer, we got similar supplies
from one of the in-town auto paint suppliers.
Check the Yellow pages for auto body and paint suppliers, wholesale,
and give a couple a call. I don't believe you'll call too many before you
find exactly what you're needing.
