This completely scratched off the paint on my door and the frame around the door, and I didn't even have anything hanging from it yet. It just happened over the period of about 4 days. & I live an apartment, so now I'm going to have to pay for the paint repair.

Just inspected area and I don't see any damage. We don't hang heavy items on it though.

It could. It's a powder coated metal so it's smooth, but if you were to move it around a lot then I have no doubt that it could damage the paint. That being said, no damage so far over here.

It has not for me. But it could if you put things on and off it a lot. It is just metal against the door. The metal is finished and has no rough edges but if you moved it around some it would eventually mar the paint. You could put a stick-on rubber "foot" on it where it contacts the painted part of the door. They have those at Home Depot and Lowes in the hardware dept and probably on Amazon. They would not have to be very big. You could also use the "felt" stick-ons available so furniture or vases etc do not scratch surfaces they are set on like glass tables or marble floors.

I have it on the back of my wooden bedroom door which is not painted but stained. It has left no marks so far and I suppose it only would if I rubbed it back and forth. I like it a lot and recommend it highly.

yes. and I did not use a primer however, use of a primer and paint would not be a bad idea if the door handle gets used a lot.

I would say you can paint a door easily. Just practice on adjusting the spray rate first. Takes some practice to get the right amount of paint on the surface.

It should cover the drawing, but I don't know if it will match the color of the paint on your door, there are a lot of shades of white paint. If your door has been painted you should use the same paint to cover the drawing, you may have to sand it first. There is a product called Insta Lift that claims to remove permanent marker, it is available on Amazon.com, you might want to give it a try first.

We're using it on wood doorframe that one of our cats destroyed. I'm probably not the right person to ask because most of the white paint was scratched off prior to my applying. I did, however repaint and put tape over that without issue.

No it does not. Most scratches will disappear without the paint touch up. Really deep scratches all the way to the primer may have to be touched with the touch up color paint that you can get on E-bay or your dealership for about 6$ small bottle with a brush. The code color is on your car on the driver door frame most of the time. But like I said most of the deeper even scratches don not need the paint since these days the manufacturing companies put up to 7 layers of paint and 2 layers of the clear coat.

No, not unless the paint is already loose. I used it around a painted steel patio door all winter. The best weatherstrip I've ever used, but don't expect to open the door or window until the tape is completely removed.

I have a thin black line on the paint above my door. I've also seen it dent certain frames if they are particularly flimsy.

I had a similar problem with this product. The piece has since flaked. The only good news is that I don't have to touch often! Thank goodness t didn't try to paint a door knob with it.

If cabinets are painted, it will take off the paint. I'm not sure what it would do to stained cabinets. I don't recommend it.

This won't take stain well. It can be lightly sanded and painted. I have a door that won't stay together so it will need to be glued. Otherwise, it is functional.

I have not seen a problem with this. It dosent rub against the door causing scoring. There is a very small gap of space so I don't have this problem

We used it on a door over stain and it worked superbly. I would check with the manufacturer about using it over paint.

I don't think it leaves a stain. I really have not used it on many painted surfaces. I used it outside around my covered deck, so that's aluminum siding, and around some exterior doors. I guess the door moldings are painted though. I have not noticed any discoloration or staining on any surfaces.

I guess that depends on the quality of the paint. We've moved it around on my daughter's wall a couple of times and it did nothing to the paint at all. I would imagine that IF you were having issues with peeling paint BEFORE putting it up, it might worsen any preexisting problem.

We used tape to put it up and it did not damage the paint... I hope this helps.

My husband has used ours for several months now and it hasn't done any damage. If installed correctly, it shouldn't damage your door.
