and cut around it
then u could keep making more of the tape squares and put them all
down
other wise i hav no suggestions

we've done masking, but not that precise. how big do you want the
squares? if you could live with less precision (which I think would be
mega cool) just do it with masking tape. If you want big squares, find
the width of masking tape and make a square that wide.

masking tape works great though.

have other people done it? I haven't seen any designs on frames that
intricate before....I'm with Fuego though, you could use masking tape or
something, I think that would work.

PS duuude, your frame has the triangle shaped foot holders too!! mine
doesn't, but my friends does, and I think that's pretty much the
weirdest thing ever.

my thoughts exactly. you could do them pretty small, too. that would be
a great paintjob.

the best way to do it, is to completly cover the frame in masking tape,
tehn with a straight edge and an exacto knife, cut a grid into the tape.
Then peel away the unwanted squares. This will be much more precise than
trying to stick on the squares.

I've had better results using electrical tape personally masking tape
tears really easy and is easy to get unwanted folds in the tape on
corners. ThisGuy's method is the way to go just make sure that white
paint is fully dry before you think about puting any tape on it. You can
use alcohol normally to remove any gunk the tape leaves behind. Just
make sure you dont push too hard with a blade you only want to cut
through the one layer of tape and not the paint.

It might also help to make a template for the size of the square so that
you get the same size every time.
