So I went old School on the graphics on the new truck with the standard 60's Ford rally stripe, did it in vinyl first before committing to paint, might add old school engine ID to the stripe "Boss 379"
So far,
2.5" lift, 35x12.50's on 20's(ouch that was expensive) and Kicker Speakers with amp.
Window tint next week, and Paragon Tonneau cover on it's way

Looks good. The only reason I don't like vinyl for long term is it can wear off pretty easily being that low, and if you pull it off later it will leave a stripe from paint fading. I say if you plan on keeping it for a while then paint it on.

Just slap a cal trans sticker on the door 😂
I wasn’t gonna say it lol. OP I assume your favorite color is Orange? Maybe do red instead? Might look like a fire truck though lol.

Truck looks clean with the stripe 👍🏻👍🏻

I’m surprised it’s not purple as a tribute to Barney.

Rarely an issue with white discoloring, especially with it being so low and on the verticle. The vinyl also provides stone chip protection and if you do decide to take it off the paint isn't sanded/scuffed.
I had vinyl stone guard film on the leading edge of my white f350 for ~12+ years, once removed you couldn't tell it had been there. It started out clear but ended up closer to yellow when I took it off.

You should have gone green and added BORDER PATROL in the larger section and put hash marks on the door under the mirror for successful apprehensions. 🤣

Otherwise looking good!
