Chiming in: The tape is very easy to apply and looks surprisingly great, IMO better than a DIY repaint. In both cases you cover the stitching, which is a bummer, but the tape is cheaper/easier/reversible. The only asterisks on the tape is that when I removed mine (to slightly adjust/perfect it), it pulled up some more of the original blue paint. My blue was fading a bit anyway (awful paint quality by BMW!) which is one reason why I mixed it up with tape in the first place, but now it's even worse. I'm not sure if there's anything you could do before applying the tape to prevent this, maybe a clear coat of some sort? Regardless, I think I could touch it up with the Angelus light blue paint if/when needed pretty easily (easier than painting a complete color change).
