Paint will last a lot longer than the "five years" the author claims.Paint won't leave dark area's where the stickers used to be when they crack and need to be removed.
Removing stickers might not be as easy as people think.I wouldn't know because I'd never put them on anything.

I stick by my original post.Get stripes and graphics painted on.Stickers are for little kids to play with!
