They stay on if you apply them after the dip has fully dried, but the plasti-dip might tear if you try to take them off.
We are about to dip the Miata, so will let you know.
Dip dries rough. Make sure the stickers are stretchy enough to snuggle down or the stickers have industrial strength adhesive on the backing.
You have made me realize that I could plastidip a panel, cover it with stickers for the hell of it, and be able to remove the whole shebang later.
I have two extra cans of plastidip and a massive stack of old drag racing contingency decals. Huh.
how much is plastidip gonna ad to the Miata's weight?

I think that somebody figured out that the dry film weight of a car's worth of plastidip was only a few pounds.

It's been proved through experiment:

1.5lbs for 6 coats on a bigass Audi sedan.

So would that be an A9 or A10 class? I am not familiar with the "bigass" model line.... 
I had a big left-over Subaru lettering from the side pieces, ended up putting over the dipped hood last summer. Just fine after a few rallycrosses.
Interesting. The plan is to dip a bike white and give it some SW Imperial logos.
Be careful: Plasti-Dip white attracts dirt like small children.

Interesting factoid: did you know that the total dry film weight of the paint on a C-5 Galaxy is heavier than the total takeoff weight of a Cessna 172?
