will this damage car paint job?

I bought two different 3M tapes to apply to a motorcycle helmet visor to mask glare from the sun. The 471 has a shiny finish and is very sticky (in a not so good way). The sides of the roll of tape is sticky and will not handle hot weather. The 764 finish has a semi gloss finish (I like it). The sides of the roll is not sticky and handles hot weather very well. I can lift the already applied 764 3M tape and reapply it with no residue or excessive stretching. I say go with 3M 764.

Even masking tape becomes one with paint if left on more than a few days. It's more a question of when not if. I have no direct experience but would guess you would be okay for a day or two. It has a stickiness similar to electrical tape.

Most likely some damage will occur. The manufacturer states that on the instructions. Once it's on....it's pretty much permanent. Consulting a professional detailer on removal would be your best bet.

Doubt it. If the discoloration is due to fading of the paint from the sun then no, this wont help. If there's just residue left on the vehicle from the adhesive then some goof off and then finish with the Simoniz clay might do the trick.

Depends. If it is a little light overspray from some careless work, you ought to be able to work it out with this product. I have had excellent success with this myself. If someone has actually sprayed auto paint directly on your car, this is not what you want. You need to sand it down, prime, and repaint. You're screwed.

I'm gonna say no. When a section of the paint gets damaged water seeps behind the paint and makes a spider web mess in the paint. Then it starts to crack and flack off. That's what it does to my shower walls anyway. It was only supposed to be a temp fix until certain parts were fixed and replaced. Besides, it would cost a lot to do your whole car with this paint.

Sure. Just make sure you cover everything that you don't want to spray. And then cover still more, because the spray will likely exceed your expectations of where its going to land :) I used this with white latex (thinned) paint in my driveway and managed to get some spray on my car which was parked behind me about 10 feet away. So then I had break out the polishing compound to get that off.

I used it for automotive paint. That was the sole purpose of my purchase. It covered a small area with every spray. Do not rush to paint your car right away. Practice how to control the airbrush before painting directly on your car. Keep the airbrush absolutely clean with passion. A little lapse in diligence can cause a great deal of trouble. Follow this advice religiously. No kidding. Buy a set of cleaning brushes. This is where the work is. Painting is over in just a few seconds. Adjusting the fluid viscosity is almost impossible in words. You just have to find your rope by trial and error. Good luck.

I really doubt it. When you clay a car, you want to remove all of the old wax/debris off the paint without scratching it so you use something that in effect acts as a lubricant. Once you 'clay' your car though, then use this and you will have a shine like you have never seen before.

Thats better. The chemical in this product will ruin your car's paint. Beware of this product

I would be inclined to say yes. You'll have to scrape or sand the majority of the paint and you'll use the polish to restore the surface.

There are many layers of oxidation... If it is deep into the paint it will make it look better but wont get rid of it... If it is not that deep than yes it should take it right off. Keep in mind the more you use it the better it gets and looks. Its honestly a great product and better than wax and then some! What do you have to lose would be my question to you? Its very much worth it!

I used it to remove paint rubbed onto the car from a minor bump in a parking lot. With a lot of elbow grease, it worked for that without damaging the paint. I don't think it adds shine, but I suppose it will make the car shinier if whatever you're removing had made it dull. Maybe the VW dealer was removing something that was impeding the shine.

Does not affect the paint unless it starts to fade or peel off which Chevy in notorious for and that is why i used it...my old Chevy clear coat peeled as most do. It is really a matter of personal preference, as some like it as a protective outer coat when laying down a new paint, and some like it as a way to "deepen the look" or "wet" the look of their new paint. check compatibility and types of paint you are using for sure before starting any paint project. hope this helps. marc

I suppose you could, but depending on the paint it could affect the rubber surface and/or the adhesive. That would be a question for the manufacturer.

No, not unless the rust is removed, primed and then sprayed. I used it after sanding, a bonding, priming, matching the paint and then the clear coat. It might help over a fresh scrape. once there is rust, it has to be repaired. Hope that helps.

Don't wate your money. It only works on the smallest scratches. Anything else and you risk ruining your paint.

It doesn't have abrasive powder and is safe to use on almost any car paint. Just use a microfiber towel or pad to apply and remove and it should be protected without removing any of the clear coat.
