That is a great point and why I will avoid the center one as I do plan on stripes.

Jeff, my plan on stripes is to do a small center stripe in red with two wider black stripes.
Does the middle stripe make it easier or any more complicated for the painter ?
I'm guessing the center stripe is the baseline for the wider stripes or am I wrong ?
