Place the first piece on the center of the planter front starting at the bottom and extending over the top slightly into the inside. Equally space 12 more pieces of tape along the front so that about 1/2 inch is left bare at each end. Place 2 pieces on each end dividing each end into 5 equal spaces. Burnish all tape edges with a fingernail. Mask planter top, inside of box and shelf with plastic bags and painter's tape. Spray strips and sun with Sun Yellow. Let dry. Remove tape.
