Any painter can paint the stripes on and get the radius right. You dont have to have a stencil for it and if the painter you are using sais he does need a stencil then you dont want to use him anyway. Plus you could mix up your own color and add metallic or what ever if you wanted a truly custom look instead of stock looking stripes. I have an Inferno orange car on the way with the matte hockey and hood stripes. I think they make the car look mean. In about a year I will have the car completly custom painted but for now I am going to....well....youll see. Its definetly going to be sweet!
