Reinhard, I just saw another method of doing the stripe on a tilt up. I drove behind a YMCA building today to get out of a parking lot. The top 4-6 feet of the wall was red, there was a 6 inch or so black stripe under the red, and the bottom half was left unpainted concrete. When I looked more closely I noticed that the black stripe was indented from the rest of the wall about 1 inch. You could use some .010" or even .005" styrene for the bottom and top of such a building, Paint the black stripe on the basic structure at the correct elevation, then paint the thin styrene red and glue it to the top, slightly overlapping the top of the black stripe. Glue the lower piece on in your choice of color for natural concrete. It doesn't help you to do graphics, but it would work for stripes!
