Don't

There's this idea that you always need to save everything about a model. Instead, save the information about the car, rather than the information about the model - This will provide you with a way to recreate the model at runtime.

As for the decals, just save where they're attached. Save a name of a part and a face, or capture some other serializable information the moment that it's placed down. If you have a decal system where it can be "sprayed" over multiple parts of the model, just save the point where it was sprayed from.

Depends on your technical ability. Estimations are best left to the person doing the work.
