CGM Or GB painter stripes for my SIM
So I am about to bite the bullet and finally get stripes on the car Since I cant seem to find a good set of UV resistant Vinyl. Which do you think would look best on my sim, CGM painted or Gloss black painted?

I honestly dont know enough about vinyl to make an informed decision. I know that painting looks great and will last. either way I would have to make the color choice...

In my opinion I like CGM...from a distance they look black but when you get close you can see the metalic flakes.....mine are vinyl but I can't imagine there would be a difference other than color tone........Painting seems to make the stripes alittle lighter than the vinyl ones.....

I went with gloss black. I got the idea of how I wanted them from these pictures:

I am not a huge fan of matte black, it looks great on some colors but I think it kinda dulls out the SIM color... IDK

I'd like to get Bumblebee-style CGM stripes for my SIM. I don't like how the stock stripes end at the front of the hood.

I went with CGM painted on my SIM. They look black except in the sun, and then flake sparkles
