I dont suggest painting it on...
anything other than factory paint will actually decrease the value of the car, this though would be nullified if you are buying a daytona because then no one would be smart enough to realise that the graphics weren't supposed to be painted on.....
get what i'm saying? if your buying a daytona, cool, paint them bad boys on there, no one will be the wiser. if you're buying anything else, get vinyl, the paint will make you lose value....
it's a catch 22, go figure...
I have to disagree with this. Anyone that would be buying a Daytona years down the road as a collectible car will know what it was supposed to have from the factory. I install stripes and graphics for dealers and I have recently seen a 91 S-10 Blazer I did when it was new and it still looked good 14 years later.
It is just like anything else, if you take care of it, years down the road it will look good. If you leave the car parked out in the weather all year long then it will deteriorate much quicker than a garage kept unit.
As far as the vinyl on a "Regular" Charger, if you modify the car from original, it can be removed, but will leave "ghosting" on the paint.
I think the paint will have more of a negative affect on a Daytona because it's not the way it was built.
And by the time these original ones are not good anymore, there will be reproduction ones out.
As a matter of fact, I have been selling and installing Charger and Charger R/T decals that are a copy of the Daytona stripe to my local dealers. I have them available in Flat Black and Silver too..
