For anyone that has completed the task. How hard is it to stripe your own car and where is the best place to get the best vinyl durable stripes?

I did my own in my garage. Took me at least 7 hours. Not hard but you do have to follow the directions.
It's not hard. You'll mark everything with grease pencil and masking tape. Once the stripes go on, you have a good 30 seconds to get them positioned before the adhesive starts to take hold.
Do you wet soap the under side so the vinyl can slide and at what point do you press the vinyl to the car?
You make a mixture of original dawn dishwashing liquid (it has to be dawn) and put it in a spray bottle. You spray the stripe and position it. At that point you use a very soft squeegee to push the solution and any air bubbles out from under the stripe. The key is to follow directions and not to rush!
If you rush it's easy to end up with air bubbles. Then you're stuck popping them with a pin.
