Should I pinstripe?
I was debating on adding the two small black pinstripes on my silver F-150. What do you guys think about them?

Pros and cons of both vinyl stripes and paint stripes.
Vinyl stripes if applied properly and skillfully can look really good and last a long time. If one gets damaged repairs are easy and inexpensive. However if applied improperly and without skill they look cheap.
Paint does look more professional and looks really nice to start. But after time they do fade and wear thin and rub off. If it gets scratched the paint has to be matched and most likely will look different and a little pricey.
Average life depends on care. I have had both. Currently vinyl. Yes I do it myself.
