Default Decal fading

I saw a 350z today with a few decals (racing numbers, nismo, volk....). It was sunny and hot today in NY and it got me thinking, can paint fading occur? I actually spoke to the owner, real nice guy. Said he had them decals on his car for a track event and he is taking them off this week. They were on his car for 2 weeks or so. Will his paint fade???

they were caked on... heating them up would just make the dried out brittle vinyl break faster... couldnt just pull it off...
