Post Will decals ruin paint?

Will decals ruin the paint on my Camaro?

I wanted to show my American pride by ordering US Flag decals instead of using a regular flag to mount on my car.

Are all decals the same?

They wont ruin the paint, but they will show discoloration. If the decal is on there for a long time the paint will fad around the decal. Then once you take the decal off, it could so some fadding. Sense the area the decal was on was covered, it wont show much if any fadding.
