Stripes - Paint or Vinyl ?
I am considering a racing stripe on my newly acquired '90 track car. What information can you all pass on to me about painted stripes vs vinyl stripes. What would be an estimated cost to apply the vinyl stripe? And what would be the estimated cost of having the stripe painted on? What are the pros and cons of each type? Thanks !

I would have them painted if possible! But the decals allow you to change if you don't like the look.
Enjoy the ride!

Painted will definitely cost you more, and you can't change them, but you can tell the difference as the vinyl will never shine like pained stripes with a good clear coat. Unless of course you have clear coat put over the vinyl stripes.

Don't go vinyl. You won't be happy with the results and the way they look. Painted stripes look so much more refined and professional. They cost more, but there's a reason for that.
