I had an earlier frame (matt) and the decals came off but left indents behind. On the later frames they definitely don't peel off.
I removed the seat tube decal by very lightly sanding and wire wooling but it removed some of the shine (which sort of t-cut/polished back) but not good if looking closely.
A few years back you could also get black ones which no decals at all but that is no longer an option.
