[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 16371197, member: 110091"] I thought painting was the "right way" also, and I had it done to an almost new 2011 Mustang GT back in 2012. It was a nightmare. The shop did a horrific job of insuring the stripes were straight and true, particularly as they worked across body panels. There was some bleeding underneath the paint lines. And, when they cleared over the entire roof (as recommended above), you would see where it collected at the front windshield runners. From what I understood afterwards, avoiding that is nearly impossible without removing the front windshield for paint, and that becomes costly. Truth told, even in today's age, avoiding the above is much more art and much less science, IMO. Unless I was 100% confident in a shop, I'd never go through that torture again. With my current Mustang, I went with the 3M stripes. Even then, the installer wasn't perfect. The difference was, I was able to make him fix it easily. [/QUOTE]
