What is the best way to do the red N- filter stripe?

My MMM sticker set doesn’t include that marking. I thought maybe automotive pinstripe tape would work.

What have you guys used?

Red pinstripe decal roll from a hobby or auto store.

Red electric tape from any hardware store. Just put 2 layers, you can kinda see through only one. 😛

That’s the method I went for, ensuring any overlap of the ends was placed on the underside of the Filter to be less noticeable.

I used some red Scotchlite (reflective tape) since I plan on being out on Halloween night. A little extra visibility doesn’t hurt.

I just painted mine on, but red pinstripe tape will be just as good if not better.

Picked up the suggested red electrical tape for my [N-Filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) - I thought it turned out very well:

(Please be nice, proportions are not correct on many things, used different parts (it’s my first build - and the shell is from DarkJedi)

you might want to slice that tape in half at least… the stripe on the N - filter is not that thick, but every pack is different… still looks great.
