Pinstriping Question

My basement is painted white. We are NY Yankees fans. I was going to paint a wall Blue. My son suggested pinstriping the walls would be cool. I agreed but man I think thats alot of work.

I thought of buying strips of lattice, painting them blue and nailing them. The lattice is expensive and might look 'off' and be a bit of work if ever wanted to remove it.

For pinstriping I see they sell Frog Tape, Blue Hawk Blue tape and BLUE tape (3m?) at Lowes. First off which brand really does not allow seepage. Second, any tips...what are the odds on being successful? I'll have to tape up the stripes and apply 2 coats of paint...maybe 3...how long can the tape be left up before you naeed to rip it off...?

Finally...any other ideas? Hell, if the blue tape were more of a navy color I'd almost consider just using it for the strips...I wonder if it would start to peel off over time.....
