Stickers on paint aren't a good idea, generally. Especially, if you live where climates can be extreme and/or you see a lot of road salt. In a few years or less, you'll have different paint characteristics between surface that was covered by the sticker and surface that was not.
I wouldn't put stickers on paint if you care about that sort of thing.

It's really not a matter of dirt.
Over time, the paint will oxidize naturally by being exposed to air, sun and any chemicals that may be on the road, however brief the exposure is. Because there's something on top of the paint (the sticker), it means that the exposure process won't happen evenly, and when the sticker is taken off, there may be a difference in the finish.
I mean, this doesn't happen overnight. It happens over a couple of years and can certainly be minimized through waxing and otherwise taking care of the finish. None the less, it's not 100% preventable over long periods of time. It'll be more significant in harsher climates, such as the temp and the blazing sun of the south, where clearcoat takes a heavy beating.

Your right ahtoxa. I've taken off pinstripes before, and afterwards there was a line where the strips were due to paint fade. It's a good idea but I don't want a permanent tramp stamp on my ride.
