I bought a luggage rack for the 1000 mile trek to VTR 2001, put it on the
day I left and removed it the day after I got back.  There are dark circle
visible in the paint, where those suction cups touched it (and my TR3A is a
relatively dark color, likely it would be worse on white).

FT had some polyurethane mounts made for his, that he says did not mark his
paint.  Of course, anything that shades the paint from the sun long enough
is going to produce a difference in fading, but just occasional use
shouldn't cause that, IMO.
