A tip I learnt on mach .8 planes, stickers well placed and free from blisters,
edge seal with superglue- simply apply a thin bead along the edge of the
adhesive
and let it harden, or use an accelerator spray.

it is not how it looks after completion but how it looks in 4 years time.
Looking after vinyl graphics on a plane is a lot more difficult than looking
after paint, vinyl can get tatty, do not like being exposed to 120 knot winds
and do not have the same lustre finish as paint.
