I too thought the same about the newspaper from what I have read and observed is to not use it. I use painter paper from Sherwin Williams, a large roll is cheap and will last a very long time with use on a car.

As far as the striping and overspray, we all need to keep in mind that these cars were built on an assembly line, many thousands at a time. Its not like modern times that a restoration shop will have one for years only to go through scrutiny with a fine tooth comb upon delivery. I dont think it mattered as much then if there was a bit of overspray or if the striping may have differed from one side to the other, etc.
