Anyone have any suggestions on what a good product to use to reapply plastic stickers that are coming off? I usually use just a regular glue stick for paper stickers but for plastic metallic ones, doesn't really hold.
I'm not really sure if super glue would do the trick. Any help will be appreciated!

3M spray adhesive is the best. Use that.
Or elmers white glue, but thinned and applied very sparingly. This is more of a last resort.

THE BEST is very thin 2 way tape,3m makes it too,and its NOt as messy as spray.Also you can get at a fabric store scrapbooking squares,they are also double sided and very thin.I use these to put decals back on my bikes,models,etc etc.

Myself, I like the dry-ish glue "stick" glues. I work the sticky glue a bit to thin it, then use a knife to apply it under the peeling sticker. Next I'll hold the sticker into place, or temporarily hold it into place with weight. As a last resort, just a bit of water may help smooth back the older shape along with this same method.

Thank you guys for sharing those tips. I actually bought the 3m spray on my dx maskman robot's sticker after Mr. Ginrai's suggestion. Like Baron said, it does get a little messy to put on but I managed to wipe off the leftover residue using some bug and tar remover for cars. I will experiment on the double sided tape and will also look for a good dry gluestick and see how well those hold for metallic foil stickers. Getting glue on the edges was the most challenging part!

Good luck!
The nice part about the glue sticks is that they are water soluble & can rub away. Let it dry, then clean up the edges.
I've noticed that some spray on glues must use some alcohol to make the spray.....I've gotten markings accidentally bleeding through the sticker and showing on the surface. -So be extra careful to use an extra fine mist and light coating.
