The process described in the fine article is for painting e.g. stripes, logos, and other traditional "decals". It is not for painting the chassis, unibody, underbody, or even the finish on most of the exterior. That is all still done by traditional methods.


Its also used for whole roof with two-tone cars, where roof is different color than the rest of the body. You save masking process and whole another run trough paint process.
