As far as tape goes use Tamiya masking tape, it works great, nice straight lines, and it has a low tac so it does not peel off the color you are masking off. As far as straight lines go, I use a ruler with 64ths to measure to make sure the lines are straight, not sure if thats going to help you cause the Santa Fe's Bicentennial's were on angles right? See if you can use a drafting square, maybe. Also use a hobby knife or small screwdriver to tuck the tape in the doors and vents as you move along laying down the tape. <br /> <br />If you have any questions let me know.
