Damn...
Well, that takes us full circle. Initial question on color register and damage pattern accuracy was towards determining if I'd use the print, or paint myself. Am more inclined to paint, regardless of all else.
May use the stickers for the more obscure items, hoping that the thickness of the backing paper is not out of scale.
Has anyone used these stickers yet?
While Clearly not as good as decals (if decals are considered good), the Bandai stickers are actually pretty good at going down and conforming to shapes... and the thickness is not all that noticeable. I would not use them on any compound curves though... they are not THAT good at hugging the shapes 
Single plane curves, and covering small details (piping for example) they are fine, and lay down pretty well, multi-plane curves unless its "really gentle" I'd stay far away.
Just paint it... and use the stickers for rough color matching

Honestly, for all those markings, most people looking at it would not even notice if they were or were not there and in many cases, some of those markings are so small you can't see them anyway when admiring it at a normal viewing distance.
The panels can easily be painted and apart from the iconic Route 1 above, the only really noticeable ones are pretty easy to duplicate with brush painting and masking, Things like the hash marks, red striping etc...
And as Jedi Dade mentioned, the ones that are noticeable are mostly on flat areas where the stickers probably would not be that bad
That's not to say it doesn't add some up close visual interest, but could at this scale, you could get by without most of those fiddly stickers and no one one* would bat an eye
*(I'm not counting the minority of us obsessive model builders)
Or you could just pm Korben and take him up on his offer
