Track car design?? Camo?

My worry about sticker type camo would be the long term affect on the paint. If you leave it on there for a while and the base silver fades over

My worry about sticker type camo would be the long term affect on the paint.

If you leave it on there for a while and the base silver fades over time, then want to take it off, it could leave bright shiny silver where it was covered before.

Same worry with stripes and plastidip parts. It may be removable, but will the paint difference be noticeable after its removed?

I think the major factors here would be how long your car would spend in the sun, rain, winter mess and how long you plan on keeping the pattern or the car in general.
NickTurnon and synolimit like this.

Good call. My cars garage kept and work is a parking garage so only sun exposure is while driving. I plan to keep it so I'm not worried. Next buyer at some point when they take it off will have the issue if it happens.
