Another label trick I have used on my plane is to use the border feature around the basic label. This allows you to cut the shape out right around the outside border and the visual line around the words takes your eye away from the tape transition. I used all clear with black writing and they look great.

Default Border Trick and TZS

I "borrowed" the border trick from Andy and I agree it works nicely.

I used TZS tapes and have several on the outside of the plane and two exposed to 100LL spills hanging in the 170mph breeze. They are not going anywhere. They seem immune to temp extremes here in Minne. -5 to 110degF.

The labels just ahead of the fuel caps and "No Step" labels are TZS white on black.
