Do sticker bomb. You can buy sheets of sticker bomb effect on eBay which is much easier as first of all it sticks properly and individual stickers don't lift up plus it's cheaper then buying thousands of stickers lol

Best tip is when you've stuck the sheet on. Laquer it! If you need to after a few coats wet sand it back and polish it up but will never fade or peel or rip if you do that

I laquered the sh*t out of my old exterior stickers and they faded really bad.

Only other thing to use is hairspray. I used this for interior trims I've painted in the past and it's canny good like. Leaves it more shiney then laquer

Proper vinyl usually lasts 3-5 years in hot sunny weather.
