- 1). Start at the top of the pole with the painter's masking tape. Use 2-inch tape if you are only placing red stripes on the pole. If you are adding blue stripes, apply 1-inch tape.
- 2). Place the tape at a 45-degree angle as you wrap it around the pole. Measure 1-inch space between each spiral of tape for the red and blue stripes, or a 2-inch space for just the red stripes.
- 3). Pop the lid off the red can of paint using a screwdriver. Place a stirring stick in the paint and mix thoroughly.
- 4). Dip the paintbrush into the red paint. Paint in the spaces between the tape. Add the blue color between the stripes of red to create the alternating effect.
- 5). Allow the paint to dry. Slowly pull the tape off the pole to reveal the white stripes between the red and blue paint stripes.
