Enerjet by Aerotech Strong Arm Build, Part 21, Body Stripes

I wrapped a piece of cardstock around the body tube to use as an edge guide for the body wrap strips.

If you've ever tried to get a stripe to meet up after wrapping it around a body tube, you'll appreciate a cardstock guide.

For a cleaner look, start and finish the strip over the launch lugs.

I read these colored stripes designate if a missile is a dummy or armed. 

Tape the guide edge in place, 

Wet the body tube where the stripe will go,

Peel off the backing, dip the strip in some water and leave wet.

As I rolled the stripe around the the tube, I would dip my finger in some water and wipe it under the thin sticker.

Here's the lowest stripe.

Notice the overlap, again centered over the launch lug side. Hiding the overlap joint makes for better pictures on the launcher.

The longer yellow and black stripes go all the way around the tube.

The shorter red, gray and black stripes fit between the dorsal vanes.

These are a little tougher to place, you'll want all separate four segments in line.

For a guide, I placed strips of masking tape on all four sides. I could visually align the stickers against the masking tape strips. 

The red and gray strips are longer than needed. Set one end against a vane side, trim the overhang off the other side with a razor blade.
