Or if nicked it will hold salt in.

Why salt? Are you going to go riding on the beach?

i was thinking black racing stripes, because as diesel says at some point everyone needs to have a car with stripes. and then if i get bored with it, you just peel it off.

Even easier than Plasti-dip would be to go the route I went and get some vinyl stripes from this guy.

Cheap, easy to put on, and you get enough to redo a stripe if you mess up.
