Doing a complete paint job. Should I preserve the original sticker or replace? Where should I get the replacement?

remove it carefully to preserve then get a new repro that is punched. That way you get a nice paint flow without roughly taping off an old sticker

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) If at all possible keep the original on. Get a really good repro as a spare or if the original just can’t be saved. Those little tear holes are really good at preventing the sticker from being peeled off (intentionally I would think).
