My friend has some on her side panels to cover up a dent. She's replaced them and they didn't hurt the paint. Get a good quality one and you'll do fine. Here's a pic of hers. She has one on the other side also.

If you look on Facebook..... search for 'GTS Design' a guy called Paul, he'll sort you out - top bloke for all sorts of other stuff too.....
Also check out my avatar - my tool box door is all stickers - gently heat with a hairdryer to remove and a wipe with meths if there is any sticky residue left (oh er matron !!) ⚠️ Last edited by Muttsnuttsracing on UTC; edited 1 time

when (if) you want to remove them, just warm them up with a hair dryer and they should peel off in one piece without leaving any residue (so long as they are vinyl type)

Stickers themselves shouldn't damage the paint. But over a very long time the paint finish of areas that are exposed to daylight tends to age differently to areas protected under a sticker... It takes ages though, and varies a lot over different colour finishes.

Yes, Ms. Eldritch was suffering an infestation of daisies when I liberated her. i used a blow dryer to get them off. just beat and beat it with a blow dryer, really whaled on it, slinging it around by the cord. a few bashes and the stickers let go.
Or maybe I blew on them. it worked. |

For taking them off.........just wait till the height of summer and enjoy a adult beverage of your choice (of course in the shade) while the sun heats it up for you. Most likely will heat it up as much as a hair dryer........at least here it does/would.
