removable car paint

I am thinking of decorating my new Fit with removable auto paint (magic color and Duplicolor Car Art are the two I have heard of). Does anyone have experience with anything like this? I thought a few small frogs (or flowers or butterflies, etc) over the storm silver would look nice. Will it scratch the paint or will the design show up after removal because of paint fade around it? My Fit is 6 days old and I wonder whether I should wait for the paint to "age" or something. Is this the right forum for this question? Thanks.

I did it to my car for a good laugh. You have to wash it off within 3 days or it's going to start becoming permanent haha. And it's actually a lot harder to wash off than I was expecting. I washed it off the next day and it took 2 car washes and a lot of scrubbing.

That was at a car show. I did it for fun because it's a base model Fit but I parked in between a Viper and a Supra
