Is this marking paint temporary or permanent? The reviews seem to go both ways. Is it possible to wash off?

It has been on my driveway exposed to the weather and scrubbing by me for a yr and a half. On black top its permenant.

It is not easy to wash off. Cans I got did not spray evenly at all. Took over 6 months or more of weather and rain to wash it off rocks and grass.

I still have it on my road from last Summer. If you want temporary, use Something else.

The information on the can states that it's a temporary paint that lasts 30 days. The instructions state that lacquer cleaner can be used to clean so it's probably not washable.

I've only used it on grass and it's pretty hardy.. I wouldn't say permanent, but I applied it in early september and it hung around for a few months at least.

It is temporary, but it takes pressure washing to get it off. Rain is not enough and it takes months.

I used a chalk marker and it didn't come off so I had to repaint it. But regular chalk comes off fine

My husband did use the paints to cover bare wood. It dries to a mat finish. We have not tested whether or not it will come off if it gets wet. My guess is that it will wash off, but likely leave the wood stained. I'm sure it would just wash right off finished/sealed wood.

If it's quality paint on properly prepared surface, with a little heat, it should come off without too much fuss. If you put it over cheap paint with a poor prep job, the paint will probably come with it.That said, it's a quality product, as are most 3M products ( I hate their sandpaper ).

NO - this is permanent, it adheres very well, no water can get underneath and that is why I purchased it. The tenants had scrubbed the bath so much it was rusting. I could bleach the rust, but it would come back in about 3 or 4 showers and current tenant complained. This adhered firmly to the bottom of the tub and all washing / scrubbing will not remove it. It is great for a PERMANENT repair.

If you remove it carefully, it doesn't hurt the paint. The adhesive can leave a residue behind, but some goof-off can resolve this.

Hello, Gwynny's Mommy, what a great idea! I have not had any concerns/problems removing any of the RoomMates decals. The paint remained on the wall, it did not peel off and the colour of the paint was not affected. The only thing I have noticed, sometimes a sticky substance is left on the wall after removing the decal; however, with dish soap, water and a little "elbow grease", the sticky substance comes off. This has only occurred when the decal was on the wall for an extended period of time (4 years). If you are just putting it up for a birthday party, you should be okay. :) I hope this helps. Have a great birthday celebration! Take care, Sandra

I agree with Laura. However, the only time I've had the little dots is when I applied to much. This is the best product there is and use it to first CLEAN, like she mentioned, and then apply a coat of wax. The tacky part, I've never experienced. I could imagine a situation though where there was another product already on there - not newly applied, I mean still on the paint. This is polish - it moves paint, is how I like to think of it.

I just repainted the wall that the decal was on yesterday....the decal itself is not reusable and it took paint off the wall when I took them off. Good thing I was painting!!!! So no it's not reusable after you take it down and it takes paint off the wall!!!!!

That's correct. Not permanent. I actually won't purchase this one again. The line wasn't very thick & it didn't last long.

I used a chalk marker so the chalk would wash away, however if you used a permanent marker I think the labels would be just fine.

Nothing to do, just let it dry for an overnight or 1 day to be sure. on the prep make sure it is dry and maybe you can use the sand paper (included in package) so paint will stick properly, then, clean it dry. It works on me, it looks like new afterwards.

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

If you have a lot of matter to remove, then Goof off is great. I'd probably still wipe the surface with alcohol or mineral spirits before painting. (I have not tried to paint a surface directly after using Goof Off). Good luck, and please post with your findings if you paint immediately after using Goof Off. Just curious.

I just removed mine and moved it to another wall. It didn't leave any residue but sometimes it did peel a little of the paint off. Just peel it off the wall carefully. It's on a different wall now and it's adhere-ing very well.

This is a wax product, which means you absolutely *must* remove it before painting.Fortunately, it can be easily removed with mineral spirits.
