Hi there,
I jsut painted my car .Completed. Then I decided I want to put parallel stripes from front to back just like Italian Job.

My questions are
1.Should I go for sticker based or paint the stripe
2. Few things to consider
- time duration
- cost
- attractiveness


Hopefully the more kau kau members of Datto can help me here.
Thank You !

What the extimated price diff ? Because if between 30 -50, might as well go for something that looks nicer and last longer.

Anyone with experience ?

for me i choose sticker stripe.

if u not like still can tear it down. no need repain whole thing
when the sticker is old, still can do another one

and also serve as protection also...
in case something scratch your bonet or something
there is a chance it scratch your sticker.. :) so just change sticker.

i choose paint because i wanted it permanent... sticker you got to change it every 2-3 years because it'll start to peel... look at my mini and you'll know.

plus with sticker it is harder to polish your car as wax will tend to stick to the edge of the sticker.
