Thread: Will vinyl stickers discolor my paint because of the sun?

Just got my L4P Stickers in, and I cant decide to put them on the paint or on the windows. If I ever decide to take them off, I dont want to have the paint underneath them discolored because of the sun and all that.

I got these:


Also, here's my car, where do you guys think I should place them? I'm thinking either on the hood cowl, the back of the side-stripe, or on the smaller side window I was going to put them on the fender area behind the front wheel, but the stickers are black so they may be hard to see on the gray paint.

No. Wouldn't you think the factory thought about this before doing cars such as GT3RS, Ford Mustangs, etc?

Well I know that when cars are exposed to sun for a long time, it can slightly change the color of the paint. I'm just making sure

I've removed stripes and stickers on cars that were a few years old and you can see the difference in the paint where the stickers were.

Because those stickers usually stay on for the life of the car

Put them on the side of the cowl hood if you're going to put them on the paint. Otherwise, put them on the side quarter windows.

On my car where the factory vinyl firebirds were the paint is all kinds of fvcked up. I ended up having to get custom ones cut that would cover up the paint damage. But the car is almost 12 years old now.
