Got to agree - stick on number boards make it look like wannabe racer bike.
Paint doesn't chip, if you get it painted correctly using a two part acrylic paint system which utilses a hardner additive. Done correctly the paint is likely to be stronger than the plastic fairing.

DJ - I havent seen your bike but my guess is that if it chips badly its been painted with cellulose paint. Easy safe and quick for the guy painting it - unfortunatey about as robust as Tipex fluid.
I have raced mine on an old airfield circuit in a bunch of 40 other bikes, with so many stones flying around that my irridium visor had to be thrown away after two races - the front number board remains unmarked.
only joking Whele, I had the stick on one on two bikes now and both have stayed put . I did'nt know there was a different paint used for the number board, so thought it would chip too easily. Oh well, might go for that option next time.
