Why choose paint? The time it takes to mask and paint will certainly be more than to simply order the $150 stripe.
got my stripe for under $70. Put it on myself in about 30-40 minutes. Not sure if there are any measurements since the car has probably had body work and such. I just centered mine on the marker lights and went from there. If need be I guess I can go measure the thickness when I get home for you.

The stripe on my one of my 70's is painted on. Some else painted it on in the late 70's early 80's when it was re-painted. The stripe follows the trunk leading edge like it is supposed to. Been like this 20+ years before I ever owned it.

Mine was painted on 20+ yrs ago in black semi- gloss, still looks fantastic. My main stripe is also slightly (maybe an inch and further back) wider than the standard 70 but that was my call. IMO the semi gloss really sets off nicely from the very glossy blue on my car but the choice between gloss and semi probably depends more on the car color and whether the car is/will be garaged. Semi to me works best because the rear quarter panel "shoulder" doesn't get lost in pictures. But Gloss would probably look better on a color like Y1 Yellow. You clean up the semi-gloss with Windex. FWIW, I did not flollow the trunk, I went straight across the trunk from one side to the other and think it looks better, but opinions vary
