I put vinyl stickers on a newly refinished glider and they mostly blew off in the post VNE Form 2 evaluation flight!
On new gliders from Germany, you get 3 choices in order of cost… Stickers, stencilled painted letters and computer-cut masked letters. The painted letters are done with such a thin layer of paint that you can polish them off with a bit of work. All vinyl letters shrink outdoors. There are "5 year" outdoor vinyls which shrink less than cheap vinyl but paint is far superior. Get vinyl cut as stencils, spray a really light coat of colour and then peel of the vinyl and bin it.
