[QUOTE="Imatk, post: 16371138, member: 75573"] Painted stripes will ALWAYS look better. But it's pricey which is why most of us don't have them :) The "correct" way to do it (the way I had it done on my other car) is to paint the stripe and then clear the entire panel, not just the stripe. This is akin to painting the entire car... to a degree... since you're painting full panels... so it will cost more. You can have them painted without clearing the entire panel, and you'll have an edge that you can feel much like the vinyl you have now. Cheaper, but I personally wouldn't have it done that way... I'd just leave the vinyl at that point. The only way to know how much it will cost is just to ask different shops. I THINK I paid about 3k for my painted stripes but that was over ten years ago. Good luck in your search. [/QUOTE]
