    I use printer sticker paper and either print some black and white stickers I made then scanned or use pastels for anything with color. Then I spray on some mtn 94 varnish, cut them out with a box cutter and I'm done

    Markal makes totally weatherproof UV resistant ink. Try the dura ink 5. You can even get free samples on their site. Never runs or fades.

    Try eggshell stickers. they're next to impossible to peel and don't fade as bad as postal labels

    I just laserprint my design like 9 times onto an a4 sized sticker paper, and then cut them out (I usually print 10 pages at a time in school, where they have this huge color laser printer). I don't clear-coat them, seeing as it isn't ink-jet, and I only print onto paper material (because I can't find vinyl in my area).
    The stickers I put up can stay up for as long as 6 months, if no one touches them. Which they usually don't if you place them on spots where people don't have the
    time to hang around. Like poles of traffic lights, road signs, or rain pipes. When people try to peel them off it leaves tons of adhesive residue, which is nice.
    I'm thinking of buying my own color laserprinter, but the thing costs 375 euros with the toners included, so yeah...

    1. Look around for good sticker material. I use warehouse bin labels. They are durable and very rackable.
    2. Before you slap use a perminate any marker to add something extra. Place your sticker over your surprise. When the stickers buffed they will have market to clean up.
    3. If the sticker is buffed but some of the white paper is left exposed than write on that.

    I put clear boxing tape over my stickers to keep them from ripping and to make them last longer. I use USPS priority mail stickers. The words on the stickers can get annoying. But if you have paint markers, it'll cover the words up perfectly. Shit my guru taught me.

    instead of putting ape over mine i use these clear plastic enolpe things from royal mail, i stick them on using a ruler as a squeegee to make sure its nice and flat with no bubbles, adn then cut off all the excess shit i dont need, they work great, the only reason why the sticker gets weathered is cos of what ive stuck the sticker on to getting wet, condensating, etc, as that side of the sticker is obvs not prtected
