He should have painted over the car.

Assuming the lines are real and not photoshopped onto the car, then
yes. That'll learn the ****er.


Too thin, too close together. Photoshop gets my vote.

And melted polymer lining paint is probably not easy to apply with a
brush. Had work is usually done by pouring a metal can of it into a
metal square form on a stick and moving the form as you pour to paint
the line.

There is a flame-on tape version, but I suspect the car owner and us
would notice the burnt paint and bare metal a foot wither side of the
lines!!!

That's done for small things like parking markings. Long road yellow lines are done with a wheel that indirectly runs in a trough of paint. It's wheeled along.

possibly I've never seen that stuff used. I think it's chosen more for complex logos where using a box would be tricky or fail-prone.

The colour does not pass over the windscreen wiper, I reckon it could be
yellow self adhesive tape or yellow ribbon glued on and the wiper was moved
out of the way and then put back.

Hope they used a low tax glue

yes, otherwise it'll be taxing to remove
