I had a 69 Paramount I sold last year that had lining around the Prugnat lugs. It also had pinstriping that I thought was painted, not decals. I've seen sheets of Paramount decals, however, including some pin-stripey ones. Is lining such as http://tinyurl.com/36rxraf indeed painted?

Yes it is - at least one the original examples I've owned/seen. The decals are a real shortcut, IMO. One sign of a poor Paramount restoration is lug lining that hugs the shorelines too tightly.
