you won't be able to stick stuff to ano frames, usually they laser etch them

Ano is a rough surface?

Isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth to totally remove any residue from the GT85. You might need to give it several goes. You could also try heating the frame and decals with a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive and allow it to permeate the grain of the anodising.

A bit of heat will do it.
