Auto pinstriping works for me. Of course, surface must be clean. I hit it with denatured alcohol. I've used it at the wing/fuse joint, stuck to the monokoted wing. Some of the stuff has lasted for years. Didn't expect that. Also used it on tail surfaces, any place away from direct exhaust flow. The pinstriping was done on the top of the wing, the exhaust of my tongue mufflers angles down and away from that surface. The glue takes a bight after a few hours or days, stuck, hard to get the suckers up after that. On sport planes or comp planes not trying for appearance points, any striping that lifts can be refreshed. But really this hasn't been much of an issue. At least when the striping is kept away from the exhaust blast and residue. Autostriping is thicker than the CG and Sig striping. Makes for a slight ridge. Not noticeable at any distance. Seems tougher. Directions say to not stretch when applying. That makes a difference. When stretched as it is applied (I did that thinking it would smooth the stripe down) the glue didn't adhere.
