Here's a couple ideas...
You can stick the stripes on a white sticker (mailing label...) or decal.
The discoloration issue is caused by the base sticker material is transparent.
OR
Buy a blank white decal sheet from a hobby shop or on the web at Bare-Metal
Foil Co. and print your own... BTW this is also a great way to make the
stripes for a club car for different color schemes.
FYI: More on decals and color "bleeding".
Kim Toll & I worked on making decals for his Union Pacific and found that
clear red on yellow brick dosen't stay red (duh!). So we made the sticker
magenta where it was supposted to be red and it worked out great.
