i dont know who makes this "sweet" tape... haha... either or... they usually brush it on... what you should have done was shoot the bottle the outline color first... then get the size of the outline tape fineline ou want.. id use 3/16... layout the flame... tape one side... spray green let it dry... tape other side... spray your black... let it dry... pull the fineline revealing your outline and clear.... bam sweet professional looking bottle... but in your case now id probably try to brush it... if u have a steady hand... and a good brush...

you want to just sand it down and do it the correct way... it will look like a show peice.. im sayen eventually your car is going to be really nice when you get everything done you want and you might not like the shaker can results anymore... but its up to you... if you cleared it with real clear.. .you can clear it... wet sand it... and clear it again... and wetsand it again and buff it and youll never feel the lines... **** would be saaaaawweeettt

well it has to be redone i just wet sanded it to smooth it some and there must have been something on the paper or bottle or water because i barely made a couple passes and it effed up the paint. oh well eventually i'll have your pro self do it....good  for now, its tucked away so **** it! i'm goin to give outlining a try for the hell of it.
