Well... as the worlds top expert of my opinion ;D are ya ready..... it depends.
If you know what you want "for sure" and have a painter that you know and trust, paint looks best. Especially if you have airbrush graphic work done.
on the other hand.. :-\
Vinyl has improved greatly in quality of material and graphics transferability. It also has the benefit of removal if you want to change or don't like it. But it is still vinyl.
I suggest you look at other rides with graphics that you find appealing and see what they are. Go to a car show or meet to get a good variety. Cost may also be a factor to consider. Paint will likely be more expensive. 8)
