Will this damage the paint?

Yes, actually all brake cleaner can damage paint. So please be careful when spraying this product.
932851
Not at all. This is just oil based dissolvant that cleans grease off surface.

Would not spray on any paint, unless needed. Check a small area first to see what happens before doing so. Usually there is no paint on brake parts to be concerned with. Thanks for asking, Elizabeth.

Yes definitely, do not put on painted doors. It actually took the paint off. Not happy about that.

Probably not since there is obviously a some kind bonding issue with the existing paint by trying to apply more paint can actually cause it to peel worse due to the chemical reaction with the different paints

Don't use it on car paint. I've done it and it ended up taking off top coat and crackling the paint in spots.

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

No. I do not think so. The effects of the daylight as well as the (harsh) weather conditions will take its toll on the painting.Sincerely.

I have done that myself and had no problems, but I guess that could also have to do with the quality of the paint that was used.

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?

No, it will dull the surface... use only on glass and if it gets on paint just rinse off don't wipe it off!

I think so, but for best results you should to sand carefully the affected surface ,wash and dry and then apply the paint

No. All of the contact points with the car are padded, so it doesn't damage the paint.

I'm guessing, because I wouldn't want to try it, but I would say no. Unless the paint were as thin as water. It has a check ball that causes the siphoning action by "bouncing" up and down. My thinking would be that the paint would cause a sticky situation there and the paint would be heavy as well. I think you would have a hard time siphoning paint even the traditional way.

Likely. I didn't scratch the paint to see that. Guess I not very curious as long as it works. Does this help?

Don't know. My concern is not if it will dissolve the paint, it would be if it would damage the shoe. It is great stuff all around, so I might pick it up and try on a tiny section of the least valuable shoe. Let it sit for a minute, then check surface. For example with plastics, it will start to dissolve the plastic, so it will cause a haze on the surface. (nifty way to get "frosted" plastic lenses). Sorry I can't be more help.

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

I was able to remove it, to reposition it, while I was applying it to a wall papered surface. It does not appear to be super sticky, I would imagine it would come off, but it would be letter by letter, only the letters stick. I do not know if it could cause damage to paint.

Quite likely. I'd suggest applying a bit of tape to a unobtrusive area (where damage cannot be seen or be repainted over) and rip it off to see the effect...
