Looking to get into doing very even curved pinstripes. I have done stripes in the past with limited success. Any advice for super sharp lines on a curved pinstripe.

"When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you know why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind." -Jiddu Krishnamurti world renowned champion of peace.

Tamiya do a very thin looking masking tape that is designed for curves and bends. Only saw a quick glance of it in a YouTube sidebar but it's blue (IIRC), could help you.

The blue tape is marketed as Painter's Tape if you want to know what to ask for. It comes in different sizes so you should be fine if you go to your local hardware store or paint and decor specialist. Keep in mind that the blue tape is designed to come off easy and to withstand seepage better than khaki masking tape. It is also easier to use and to cut to size.
A technique I use to do when painting terrain or figures is to wrap it twice, once to make sure you define your line, the second time you leave a but of a fold in order to easily remove the tape. I suggest practicing on a spare model or some cardboard tubes if it is your first go at using painters tape.
