What is the best method for removing this from factory painted metal window trim and vinyl windows? I do not want to be able to tell it was there. You see, I snuck it past my husband who would refuse to risk tape on windows..:)

It's less sticky than packing tape so shouldn't be a problem, unless the paint is cracking and peeling already. There should be no adhesive residue on the window. If there is and you don't have something like GooGone, I've heard peanut butter works. But be careful of putting anything oily on matte finishes.

Its almost impossible to get it off. I used it in my son's bedroom (On his wall) several months ago and had to use a knife to scrape it off. Took some of the paint off. Panelling might be easier.

You paint this on first as a base coat and then do chalkboard paint over it. Just expect to have all your windows open after you paint. It's really noxious.

The new 3M tape that they use on stuff like this holds up really good. If you ever want to remove them it shouldn't take up the paint. I believe most people just use a heat gun to heat up the tape to remove it. They then use a cleaner to remove any residual glue. If you look through various forums online this how people remove stickers and emblams that are taped or glued on the outside of the car.

Haven't removed mine yet. But I read somewhere that its just suppose to peel off then Windex to remove the extra sticky. I figured if that didn't work, then I would just use goo be gone.

You need to peel the clear plastic backing off. It's like a sticker. Use two pieces of masking tape in the corner and use it pull apart and separate. You need to spray it while you peel it with soapy water so it doesn't touch itself and stick together. If you haven't tinted Windows before, I suggest you watch some videos on utube. It's not easy if it's your first time doing it.

We really haven't managed to get all of it off yet. We used various grades of sandpaper and sanded the bejesus out of the door jam, but we gave up for bit because I was going crazy. When we finish doing that, we'll have to repaint of course. My husband also thinks paint remover might work as well but we haven't tried it yet. Mostly, I've been putting the whole thing off.

Roll it out on the hood or another flat surface and use the tip of a razor knife to separate a corner of the tint..should give you a good starting point..

I think once you applied to the window, you could then paint it. I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work and worst case scenario...if it doesn't look good after you paint it, rip it off.

Let it soak in window cleaning mixture about 5.min (household spray bottles are fine) and then use plastic scrapers (plastic razor blades) to remove it

Since this item is applied using very strong 3M Tape we cannot guarantee that it will not affect the surface paint when removed. Our question is why would you want to remove it?

There are 2 layers. Peel one off...and then place it onto the area u want...rub it good with a dry rag. After you feel u have really got it stuck to the window then you peel off the 2nd layer. Hope that helps

Clean the area where you are going to put it and make sure it's dry. Just peel the decal off and stick it on the window. It can go on either inside or outside the car.

I would highly recommend not taking this apart at all. They are made pretty cheap. If you want to get rid of it, I hate it too, then just wrap everything in tape but the top surface and spray with flat black paint.

i cleaned the area where i wanted to put the sticker with a non ammonia window cleaner, then i started with the top of the sticker and very slowly started to peel it to try to avoid any air bubbles getting under it, and if any did i used a small soft rubber squeegee to work any of them out.

I've never had to remove it from my window. In time it loses its ability to bead the rain. I would imagine you can remove it by simply washing your windows. Hope that helps.

It's a plastic polish. I would use it on plastic only. I would use window cleaner that's safe for tint, available from any auto parts store.
