Reflective tape

Post by thefarmer »

Trivial question I know... But can anyone recommend the best place to purchase the reflective red tape that would go on the rear bumper? Some seem too pink, some too deep red...

Thnx

Would the reflective tape have been standard? I have added it to the trailing edges of the doors on my British cars but I never thought about it ever being 'standard' anywhere on those cars.

I have purchased mine as bulk tape from the local auto parts store. The local agricultural supply company also has a good assortment of reflective stickers and tapes.

Never "standard" but a lot of the works cars had it on the rear bumper, and rear of doors.

and there lies the problem.
I have existing tape in the usual 'works' positions, and over the last year when i've been next to various works cars the stuff that i currently have seems to be the same or pretty close in colour etc.

However, I'm wondering whether there is a secret 'go to' place to get new tape...or is it going to be trial and error going to numerous different companies in the hope that one of them matches.

Have you looked at 3m Scotchlite tape? it's been around for years. Some here http://www.amazon.co.uk/3M-Scotchlite-R ... B000BOB18A
