Sorry if this is a dumb question but how do I put a curve into a stripe or straight line? The factory Porsche livery for eg. Red stripe goes along the door and curves up and across the back.
 
A couple of ways I'd try. I don't know exactly what the livery looks like. But to do a curved stripe I'd try the thin curves that look like a ) first.
If that doesn't work then this; if your car's body is a standard color, not
Specialized then you can place a thick stripe in the general shape you want then whittle out down with other shapes matching your body color. Example, take a circle, squash and stretch and tilt it to the curve to "cut out" the curve your looking for.

Hopefully that helps.

Thanks for your response. I thought something similar. Use a circle to be the angle of a curve. As soon as I can log on to the server I’ll give it a try ! :-/
