Lowrider Tape Patterns Part 3 | Measuring Center Lines with Tape (Model Cars)

In Part 3 of the Lowrider Tape Patterns series, I break down an easy and accurate way to measure center lines using tape instead of rulers. This technique helps you keep pattern layouts clean, even, and properly spaced—especially on roofs, hoods, and long panels. This method works great for lowrider paint layouts, but it can also be used on hot rods, customs, skateboards, and scale model cars. Tape isn’t just for masking—it’s one of the best measuring tools you can use when laying out designs. If you’re learning pattern work or want cleaner, more professional layouts, this is a must-know technique. ▶️ Watch Part 1 & Part 2 for cutting thin tape and building pattern layouts step by step. 🔗 LINKS & INFO Store: https://scaleriders.com/ Podcast: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/sc...
