Yup, they're a bugger to get stickers to stay on. I've no useful suggestions though, hopefully someone else does

you won't be able to stick stuff to ano frames, usually they laser etch them

Ano is a rough surface?

Isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth to totally remove any residue from the GT85. You might need to give it several goes. You could also try heating the frame and decals with a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive and allow it to permeate the grain of the anodising.

A bit of heat will do it.
