as long as you applied the repo stickers well then i dont think it would hurt the value much. i meen i would typically try and find a vehicle that had its original stickers in mint shape but with these vehicles being 25+ yrs. old, its hard to find them that way.
If anything, I think it would increase the value if you were to put the item up on ebay. People who collect want sharp looking vehicles and the sharpest around are the ones who have been lovingly restored. I've done it/or hae decals for nealy every vehilce I own. Put up two auctions: a skystriker with beat to hell, peeling, oozing decals that are in the wrong places against one that's been restored with new decals put in the right places and my money's on the latter.
