If you have a pretty steady hand you could get a fine tip paintbrush and try to do the lines like you would a pinstripe.

instead of free handing the black lines, you could try using thin strips of tape and then paint the black lines...give ample amount of time to dry and then take the tape off....i've had success with it so i thought that i would give you my opinion....but looks good otherwise...and i like the ford gt....

tape doesn't lift because of humidity. it lifts because of your skin's natural oil. so avoid touching the sticky side.
and when you mask, you put the tape on, them cut your pattern with a hobby knife(just enough pressure to cut your tape, not your car body)

you'll get much cleaner lines than freehand
