Yo Jack,
Stop messing with ANY of the magnetic, static ling or adhesive numbers and sponsor
signs. NEVER use adhesive stickers on anything with paint on it unless you don't
care about your paint.
For those of us who are not living in the 70's or 80's and  are serious racer's
and drive faster then 100 Mph  you gotta have die-cut vinyl decal graphics to look
cool and attract sponsors.:-]
You can design and make up ANYTHING you want and they are easy to apply.
They don't discolor, don't lift and they look professional. If you don't have a
good shop near you let me know and I'll turn you on to the guy I use who can
design ANYTHING and do it inexpensively.
All the REAL racers (no Miata's Andy&Ed) use  computer designed die-cut vinyl
decals.
And the BEST part is they lift up easily and don't lift paint.
MD
