Removeable 12" N-numbers
I may have seen a source listed here but can't find it. I used electrical tape for the Bahamas and the US customs guy did not like it.

Didnt like it, as in would not accept it in the future?
What part did he not like?
Removable? hard to read?
Ive not seen any requirements on either.
Ive done the electrical tape and shoe polish. Neither attracted any attention from multiple ports of entry.

part 45.29(h) covers 12" number requirements for aircraft penetrating an ADIZ or DEWZ. They may be permanent or temporary.

I don't recall the specific language. It was readable. Maybe because it was not perfect letters/numbers or electrical tape. Just said he would not accept it again although I don't know that he has any say in the matter.
Sometimes it is best to let people on power trips have their way.

Maybe because of 45.29(d)?
"(d) Thickness. Characters must be formed by solid lines one-sixth as thick as the character is high."
So unless your electrical tape was 2" wide for your 12" high numbers...

I used two widths of electrical tape. I do need to copy that FAR for better spacing but I am going to find black or dark blue duct tape and use it.
In looking at what I did the spacing between numbers could have been better

Looking at that picture, it looks fine to me. I think maybe you're right about the power trip theory...

Don't use duct tape
Careful, it peels paint and leaves a nasty residue! (how do I know?)

Wouldn't electrical tape have black residue after being in the sun for an extended period of time? I get that stuff on my hands all the time when I'm replacing cable for Satellite TV installs, its pretty nasty.
