It's all in the details. I want to clear over the stripes, plus if anything ever happens I will be able to fix it just like the rest of the painted surfaces. I already have the color down for the stripe, just need to sand down, tape up, paint the rest of the car, then peel and clear. I have a color that I can't get in a decal too for the stripe.
You say it's all in the details and then say you don't care if it is the same just close etc... Then you even say to paint over stripes. That never makes sense to me since it always looks homemade and inaccurate. I get it's a Satellite but right is right and what your doing isn't going to look right no matter how you want to justify it to yourself. My Satellite was cloned years back by a different owner but he used correct stripes etc... The Matte Black stripe when hit with light has a Gold look to it.

The car will be inaccurate as soon as any stripe, painted or decal goes on it. The detail is no tape line. This is a custom job that will mimic a Roadrunner. Nothing more. No need to get upset. It does amaze me how you can care so much for my car. I'm touched but I'm good with my plan and have no desire to change it.
If my car was a Roadrunner I might go back original, but the odds are nothing would change as far as my plan for the paint. The good thing is the car could still be made to look stock down the road, just won't be done by me.
I love your car. I love it any way that make you happy. If you don't love mine, I'll get over it!
