The sticker adds it's chemistry to the situation. Also it's blocking the paint's off gassing just after finishing. No wonder there's a tone shift.
I wonder if there's some sort of reference in the warranty, about sticker removal and finish.
I'll also question modern paint qualities compared to just 25 years ago. So much of current paint design is about reducing environmental concerns and speeding up production. The auto industry drives much of what we like paint wise. Andy
