what would you prefer to have on your cars

I really wouldn't have any sticker but Team-BHPs on my car, but given a choice between the two, I'd choose decals. Simply because decals would be easier to remove, unlike paint which is permanent.

Decals..as they can be changed easily and do not damage the paint is good wuality ones are used.

My vote goes for the decals.Simply because of the road conditions here, as a small scratch could ruin the whole paintjob and then the repair cost would be too high,whereas incase of the decal I could go in for a full replacement job at a fraction of cost.

Hi Guys , being an automotive buff and an artist i started this thread at Team BHP( I am impressed by its popularity )as to get a consensus as to what you guys prefer between an airbrush job or sticker on your vehicle .As automotive airbrushing is relatively new and at an infant stage i really wanted to know what potential airbrush has against stickering As per the replies it looks that a sticker job is prefered for its low cost

I would like to add that being an artist myself and in favour of this art form ,other than the price issue no sticker can match the effect of an airbrushed work
.
