Definitely looks good. And using the tape certainly beats trying to sand down the black coat |

Actually looks really good. I like how reflective the tape is. Did you have any problems keeping it from wrinkling or ripping? My experience with the stuff usually ends it ripped or wrinkled. |

I did have some problems with the tape wrinkling. The picture is my seconded attempt and I'm still not 100% happy with it and will make a thrid attempt. You just have to be real careful. I may go with a different material that I found in a crafts store. Thanks guys! |

Nice looking, good way break up the all black look. Try using adhesive chrome detail tape for an automobile. It does wrinkle so easily and its inexpensive. Maybe $5 USD at an autoparts store like Autozone. Good Job!

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into autozone as well as CAP. |

Updated the saber. I took the aluminum duct tape off and used an aluminum adhesive paper I found in Michael's. They also have it at AC Moore. It's works much better and is easier to put on without wrinkling. The next step is the red grips.   |

I went with a color closer tot he silver on the pommel, which isn't very reflective. I feel that it looks more realistic than the reflective tape. Thank you. |
