I am thinking about putting red Pegasus and Wakefield Castrol Oil decals on my Speedster. My question is will there be a "tan" line if and when the decals are removed several years later. In other words have any of you removed decals to find a discoloration of the car's paint?

My meager experience tells me "no." But, then again, I don't leave the car in bright sun for long periods on a regular basis.
and it depends on how old the paint is on the car.
paint a fresh car black, stick decals on, leave it in the sun for 3 years - ya - you'll see the outline.
old paint, not a ton of sun and i doubt you'll notice it.
Thanks Barry and MangoSmoothie. I live in Oregon and will have my Speedster garaged. Not a lot of sun up here. I will order two each of the decals. I will try a decal for a year and remove it. If there is any discoloration (ie the uncovered paint has faded) no more decals. If no discoloration, I will put decals back on.
