Overlays are cheaper.
Paint looks better. mine are painted, clearcoated, and waxed. FLAWLESS.

if you're planning to smoke it just do it light. that way you can still argue your way out cuz it's still red

the smoked always looks cleaner in my opinion. But i like the flexibility of the overlay. If I get tired of it I can always take them off and try something new.
