Will 3M Bike Protection Film damage your Stickers when you go to remove the tape? Found a Bianchi Pista the owner never rode.

If the stickers are under the lacquer layer, no. If they're over it, probably yes.
In any case, it's not a mountain bike, so I doubt the paint will get damaged from normal riding.

Usually the only place I've seen people use that stuff is on the chainstay on the drive side. I'd rather see a scratched up paint job than the edge of the tape lifting off after it's been on a while.
If you want your bike to be a museum piece, keep it in your museum.

If you clean/degrease the surface thoroughly and round the corners of the tape the corner lifting is less likely to happen.

Chain Stay protection.
Make sure you cover the drive side chain stay with a double layer.
Chain slap is a huge problem with the "Pista"
Bhahahahahha

I was just thinking about that. Do most single speed riders use something like Surly Tug Nuts on the drive side? The reason I got the Pista is my dying Langster has the same issue, but the Langster is aluminum and the Pista is Cr Mo

Stay (pun intended) on top of your adjustments and you won’t see any slap.
