Surinam, the same guy who does the custom mask painting, is the guy that designed the FighClub vinyl. From what I gather, it's the same sort of stuff they use for racing cars, boats and the like.

Found this on the Nation -

"If you are from Europe and you want that kind of marker job done try contact Surinam here or write to surinam666@gmx.de he could tell you the costs and if it can be done or not..."

Looks really good but i can see it costing a bit and then if you get one scratch in it, its just all going to **** up.

If it's the same stuff used on boats, cars and trucks I'm sure it would be able to stand up to quite a lot of abuse. Then again, I can see it being a lot cheaper than getting graphics annodised onto your gun, so if you scratch it you could just buy a new one.

is there chance of taking off the anno when taking off the vinyl's? (if that makes sense)

From what I gather, the vinyl would just peel off. Plus the process of annodising actually makes the colour you see part of the metal (like oxidising the aluminium). The only way to remove anno is to strip it chemically or by physically removing the layer of aluminium in which the colour is embedded via the likes of scratching, sanding, etc.

So in short, I would be very surprised if removing the vinyl wrap did any sort of damage to the anno.
