Found this on Instagram. I've thought about having my friend do some painting under my hood, but I kinda like this too, and I have a shoebox filled with stickers. Do you think stickers would last under there, with massive amounts of clearcoat? Same thing with painting...Have you any of you done stickers/painting, how's it holding up?
I've seen this before a few times, like the way it looks.
Prefer sticker bombing over painting something crazy under the hood.
I think it could last, maybe touch it up with clear coat every few months.
Plus you can't really fuck it up lol, and since you already have a show box full of stickers its free.
I had around 20 stickers under my hood when I had an rsx, no clear coat or anything. I had them for about 2 years and they never faded or peeled
Don't do it.
Why not?Quote:

I have all the manufacturers of parts under my hood on the underside of my hood. Far from "stickerbombing", but I like it!
How've they held up? Did you do any clearcoating?Quote:

As far as the stickers holding up, i wouldn't worry if you put a good amount of clear on it. I've had my center dash sticker bombed for 3 or 4 years with clear and i haven't had any issues. My front rebar is also sticker bombed with no issues in years. Only problem is they are a bitch to get off so you better hope you like it in a couple years lol
Probably depends on what they are printed on. Vinyl would be ok, but paper type stickers will fade / peel.
Not my cup of tea, it is unique though. (although I have seen a decent amount of stickerbombed lips/bumpers)
*Im sure the high quality vinyl decals can hold up to the heat/elements for a long time...the cheapy paper stickers wont stand a chance.
You'll be fine with putting stickers on under the hood...like said earlier in the post, vinyl stickers are fine, the paper backed stickers will fade. I had all the vinyl stickers under my hood with a turbo right there and had no problems and never put clear on
