Default Carbon Flash Hood Stinger Stripe-decal vs. paint ?

Has anyone had the hood stinger stripe in carbon flash painted on instead of getting the decal ? Wondering how it looked and what cost was vs. buying the decal ( which obviously could be removed if I wanted ).

They are decal from the factory as shown below and look pretty good IMO. Saw a painted example at Carlisle last August and it was more glossy than the OEM decal.
Can't really say I liked it any better.

My Premier Edition has the decal - it’s a matte finish, not glossy and thus doesn’t match the rest of the Carbon Flash painted bits like bumper, grill and rear air scoops.
