I have placed an awful lot of lines on my steam engines using brushes, pin striping tapes (for painting), Beugler pin striping wheels and gold leaf: I much prefer these techniques to tape with a clear coat over the top. Now the environment of a steam engine is far more harsh than the pampering that cars get, so maybe tape and varnish could last well enough. But, as they say in my trade* 'no pain - no gain'.
