Since they're vinyl, they're flexible/curvable, right?

Nice way to add road markings.  The only thing that worries me about vinyl stickers that I have seen some shrinkage after few years and the adhesive weakening or melting after a while.  Not specifically with these but with vinyl adhesive stickers in general.  Waterslide decals seem more durable.

Thanks Johnathan...not seeing the Z as a purchase option but I'm sure they'll have it up soon.

But they work great as masking for painted stripes!

Funny, I was thinking about that when I posted my comment.  But I was thinking that since these are cut vinyl stickers, they should sell the parts they weeded from the vinyl road marking sheet and sell those leftovers as masks.  You could then just stick those masks over gray painted road and spray the markings in yellow or white.

But I didn't consider coloring the road surface yellow or white then sticking those road markings on as masks, then spraying the asphalt color over that.   Yeah, that works too.
