Is it less unsightlty on some body colours than others?

Given the cost of sticky back plastic we all know from our Blue Peter days, is it value for money or is it better to factor in the cost occasional touch-ups?


I simply touch them up, with a very thin artist's paint brush, so the paint "drop" will not be too thick. Works perfectly with my black wings. But it also worked with yellow on my former car, even though the touch-up paint was not exactly matching.

And when there will be too many touch-ups, I will bring the car in, for a decent paint job.
