Expert Tip
Achieving 'photo-real' quality requires patience and incredibly thin, even layers of polish. When using striping tape, ensure it's firmly pressed down to prevent bleeding, and remove it immediately after applying the stripe color *before* curing for the sharpest, most defined line. Practice makes perfect for this sophisticated stripes design!
