Sonny Clarke Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) Does anyone know where to buy multi-coloured rim tape (thats if it exists). I was hoping for maybe black and white one. or i could possible buy a black and white rim tape and stich it together or somehow just colour it in with a permanent marker although it may fade.Cheers Edited March 1, 2008 by Clarkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 You can buy black electrical tape and white electrical tape, that should do the job pretty well. Think I got mine from Halfords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NileBrownâ„¢ Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Don't want to make another thread but can you get red electrical tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Reet only just seen this post but the best thing to do is use your old rim tape as a guide and to hold it in place, now go to your local hobby craft and the have all magical colours and at like 3.50 for half a metre that is loads!! mine are now pink Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Don't want to make another thread but can you get red electrical tape?Yeah. Go to your local quid shop or like hardware shop, they have any coulor you should want (Within reason). My friend got some Green electrical tape, that matches the Zoo green, perfectly.

Sonny Clarke Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) What the f*ck. Its a 5 minute job. MaxIt felt a lot longer doing every single hole Just trying to think of a better soloution instead of electrical tape which in my case the tape kept falling of Maybe some sort of good quality, water proof and different coloured fabric for instance leather.Anyone else got any better ideas?

Ben Jones Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 white doesn't fade, goes dirty though.A good idea is to put a layer of sellotape over the rimtape, keeps it in place and firm against the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebryan Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) i have the glow in the dark tape looks really cool at twilight always lol fancied the hi reflected tape thats is used on hi vis vests Edited March 3, 2008 by weebryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 You can buy felt from places like WHSmith, I know someone used it for rimtape in their wheel a few years back. Think he got the leopard print felt. You could even buy really furry felt an have the fur coming through the holes, would be something abit different although it could get quite dirty.

Yup, sorta. Get hold of an ikea bag for the blue bits then super glue white tape down can't think of anything else for the white, at least the blue won't fall off.
