Default masking - how to get a fine line?

How do you get a real fine line when masking off powder coating?

I end up with a rough edge... and not quite a nice line.

I know you cant get it perfect... but dammit thats what I want.

you will never get perfect, there will always be a rough edge because of the thickness of the powder coat, all you can do is wetsand it down.

I pretty much figured that part, but thought I would ask anyways.

But, how about making it straighter... more of a fine line. I am deal with the heaight differance due to the powder... but I just want a cleaner look.

Here is a picture or some handle bars I did. I already returned the parts so I can not get a bettter picture but this should do. I used green high temp tape and just put it on very tight so it would not come loose. I usually use something flat to press the green tape down so it will be tighter.
