Kaholo - What is "automotive trim tape?"

The manual mentions edging the decorative fabric using "automotive trim tape."  I assume that this is some sort of very adhesive and flexible decorative tape, but when I google it I get a double-stick tape used to affix automotive trim.  Any recommendations on what, exactly, to use?

What you're looking for is pinstriping tape. It comes in 40-ft rolls at my local AutoZone store in various colors and ranges from $3 to $17 per roll depending on the thickness, how many stripes, etc. Online dealers have a very much better selection of colors.

Have fun,

I usede auto pinstripe tape to cover the paint/varnish transition on my Ch17LT.  Works well, easy to apply and holds up well.  When it is time to revarnish, I remove it and apply new.

   West Marine and most auto parts shops carry it. Comes in a roll and has a backing to pull off.  I used this on my Jimmy Skiff II.

Google Pin Stripe tape and you get lots of options.
