Probably a stupid question. Removed my clear coat on a raw frame, started to get some rust over summer. Mostly from sweating, and grabbing my frame with sweaty hands. It made a large surface rust patch i removed with (I think lighter fluid?…) It rubbed out most of the rust leaving only a discolored patch where it used to be. I knew I was ordering a new frame later so for now I sticker bombed the entire frame with run of the trade quality vinyl stickers.
Water can't penetrate the stickers but theres also no clear coat what so ever… What can I expect if I ever remove the stickers years down the road from sitting in storage? Does a vinyl sticker provide the same seal as clear coat?
