When people have removed sport rub strips have they ever noticed paint discolouration? Taken them off my arden and its quite bad. Its never been painted before anyone asks.

They all seem to do it these days, best to get them painted and stick them back on.

I took mine off yesterday on one side to restick it and it pulled the paint off underneath.
