The stickers are very small so they cover only a vert limited surface area, leaving large parts unprotected. The material is quite thick and inflexible, so it does not go around corners very well. There are small welds in my aluminum frame (esp chainstays) so the material does not flex enough to create a solid bond. As the stickers are so small, the decorative patters do not really make sense and look like isolated patches on the frame.
