Source of colored holographic tape

[will792]

Does anyone know source for colored, thin holographic tape that I can use for blades. I use this one from HK: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...eet_1mtr_.html

It is good tape to add visibility to helicopter and I use it for blades and boom but it is silver color. I would prefer different colors for each blade.

Is it thin enough to use on blades? I see the spec thickness 3 mil. for FDC-3700 film but cannot visualize it.

This is what they use on the crashtesthobby planes

They have some colored tape, although some of the colors are sold out:

3 mil is .003 inch. or .0762mm. That is pretty darn thin. Measure your tape.

I just received this 3 mil tape and surprisingly it is rather thick. You can still use it as tracking tape on blades for 450 and larger but I would not not use it for MiniCP and 120 blades.

I do not have tool to measure tape thickness but my guess is that silver tape at HK is 3 times thinner than this.

3 from 3 =0 LOL, I guess the HK stuff is so thin it only has one side!
