Once it is applied, can this protector be removed without damaging the paint?

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?

That's a great question. I haven't tried removing it. So far it's holding in place nicely with no adhesive sneaking out or peeling along edges. It's protecting the back from scratches which is why I got it.

It souldn't if ther is some adhesive left behind just clean it with adhesive remover. Haven't removed mine but have dealt with adhesive, chrome or paint before. Hope this helps

If you mean can you reuse this, no. Once it's applied that's it, which is why it's important to lone it up very carefully. The second part is how easy is it to remove . Mine is still up. You will have to pick at the corners to remove it. Or get a little tool to scrape it off.

Can be removed without residue but the glass will mostlikely crack. It is not ment to come off until it is damaged or no longer wanted

I doubt it, when removing it from the liner there's clearly an adhesive on the tint. Trying to remove that while not destroying the tint would be difficult at best.

You can apply it (I've done it) but removing it would be pretty impossible. The glue is very strong.

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.

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.

Im sure it will remove the paint, but depending on area to be done it maybe time consuming.

Yes. It can be easily removed and it leaves no residue behind. I can also speak for the warranty on this as Skinomi just sent me a new protector after the first received a scratch. This is a good buy.

Yes, they can be removed easily without damaging the paint. The adhesive isn't really sticky - just effective.

It's coated. I guess you probably could if you sanded it a little, otherwise your new paint will come off. Give it a try!

The adhesive on this protector can be neutralized with water. " neutralized" when the water is gone it is back to being sticky. So you could remove the protector wash it with soap and water and stick it back on. This is not easy but I have done it in a pinch. I hope this helps to explain how this adhesive works and how it will not leave residue.

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

Meh, you can't really. I tried pulling it up and it "bent" the protector. That corner looks a little wonky now. If you really need to remove it though, try using goo-gone and a fine knife.

Not unless it's painted, otherwise it will leave a white haze. You can however use this- Nu Vinyl Protectant
