Is this going to take the paint off if ever removed? I'm having a hard time believing a peel and stick item is going to stay put...

As long as you clean the area Well and then use rubbing alcohol right before you place it than you are good. I have had mine on my 2013 Accord for about 8 months and they are still firmly in place..Oh and they look amazing.. i don't know about removal damage..

They stay put just fine! I've had my on for a year. No problems. As far as the paint being removed, I'm not sure but I sincerely double that a piece of sticky tape will rip through factory clear coat and paint unless your car was painted with a spray can, I wouldn't worry.

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.

I would doubt it would be strong enough to actually pull off the paint, but the peel and stick is plenty strong. It seems to be similar to the type of peel and stick that is used for body moldings. Mine has been on for more than an year and it has not budged an inch.

I cleaned the surface very well with the alcohol swabs that were supplied. Installation was quick and easy. I placed it where I wanted it, made a couple pencil marks, peeled the tape of stuck it and stepped on them to insure good adhesion. These are genuine factory parts. All emblems, etc are applied to cars with, these days with adhesive. Drilling holes would be a point of rust. 2500 miles and they are all still there! Hope this helps!

I want to say that it should peel off because of the surface as compared to a wall. But honestly, I haven't tried it. It isn't reusable though.

Yes, you can remove the film without hurting the paint. I just did that recently. The film peeled off more easily than I expected, but I also used liquid paint remover on a cloth to remove sticky residue. Worked out fine.

It goes on with 3M tape, and I don't plan on ever taking it off. But I'm *assuming* that pulling hard enough will take it off, but rip up the tape. Goo Gone, or an equivalent, should take it off easily. I've taken emblems off cars this same way without damaging the paint, although this is a lot bigger than an emblem. I soak the emblems in Goo Gone every 20 minutes, for about 3 hours, then start to rip off the emblem. Its a pain in the ass, like most things that have to do with cars, but it works.

Hi Hannah, It's just a sticker - meant to come off. Some people leave it on (I don't why) but rest assured it comes off with ease.

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.

Use a credit card or library card on the back and wedge it behind and then it comes off.. If you are on a paint wall it will likely take paint off because of strength of adhesive. Good luck!

sticks like glue, yet peels off no problem. just don't use any armor all where you want it to stick. it will not stick to the treated surface.

it peels right off.. I have never experienced any damage to the wall or paint when using these products.

No because the paint around it is actually faded. From sun, weather, ect. however it will ease the fade, but not totally remove it

Well, I haven't tried to remove it for good once it was applied and I kept it on for a good long time, if that's what you mean. But, in terms of it being removed off and on while you're trying to line it up right or what not, then I found it to be pretty good for that purpose. My prediction is that it would be easy remove down the line once you've adhered it. It may leave some sticky film, but the adhesive that is there doesn't seem to be that sticky/tacky to begin with.

I have not had to remove it completely, but after installation , I had to lift & repostion some of the decal. No paint was removed at that time. I don't think any paint would be removed if the paint was adhered to the wall correctly.

It has glue on it that you have to wet in order to activate it. I don't think it will remove well. I put mine up with double stick tape.

hi..to be honest with you, i did not peel the adhesive, its heavy enough and my dashboard is wide and kinda steep enough of a surface, it very rarely and slightly tips off, especially if you want to remove it for many different reasons, you better off just not to peel off the adhesive, but you really want to peel off the adhesive, remember, it will leave a mark after sometimes, its inevitable,

There's a little tab for you to pull. Similar to the 3M hook products that don't damage the walls. The tab pulls the adhesive sticker and it comes off.

It is a one time stick thing. You could maybe pry it off but need to add new tape to make it stick.

Yep, the came off my painted walls just fine. I would make sure to try to do it when you have some extra sets of hands around. Just pull it off slowly and evenly though, otherwise the vinyl will stretch.
