Can these be used on painted surfaces? Will it be safe to remove it in a couple of years without staining?

yes it will. After removal you will have to clean surface with an adhesive remover. Goo Gone will work as well if you do not have access to commercial grade products.

Hello. This vinyl was a thicker vinyl than what I typically work with. It is a glossy finish vinyl -- not matte finish. I did not put this vinyl on any painted surfaces or sell it to anyone for that purpose. This set of vinyl sheets was used for wrapping and cutting special projects that weren't placed on drywall surfaces. Send me your address -- I'm happy to send you a few pieces of it to try before you get it. :)

Yes you can use them on painted surfaces - don't know about a few years, but I've never had problems with staining

I would not put them on painted surfaces especially if you intend to leave them on for a period of time. Cricut makes a removable vinyl that I have used successfully.

Yes, I would use it on the painted surfaces, but check it on a small concealed plastic area for plastics. Some plastics hold up to it but you lower grade pv may not. WD40 works wonders it removers a lot of glues and adhesives. Greased lightning works great also. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Greased-Lightning-Orange-Blast-Super-Strength-Cleaner-Degreaser-32-fl-oz/23598549

These are completely rubbery plastic coated, so as long as that remains intact, should hold up. However, remember that sunlight will break down this coating, and weather conditions and animals and birds will have access to them, so probably only good for a few years if not protected from the outside. On the bright side, they are easily removed and a coating of Rustoleum if they begin to look shabby should take care of the problem plus you can pick your paint color then!

The directions on bottle say to "avoid painted surfaces." However I did a bit of overlapping on my job onto a painted surface and no harm seemed to be done. The stuff is painted on with a brush, so Iused an small artist type brush for close areas. I did the job last April and the door still looks like new. I suggest you try a small amount on to a painted surface you don't care much about to see for yourself.

You can use oil based paints, stains, etc. however the cleaning of non water based paints is different. See you tube videos on subject.

I don't think so. The surface is not wood-it's a laminate (plastic???) that does not seem conducive to taking a stain. You might be able to paint them with the right kind of paint.

I don't see an reason why you can't. I've used the product on a variety of wood surfaces. It will leave a slight sheen, if this is acceptable

Define safe. It won't peel the paint off, but might dissolve any wax residue on the surface and make for an ineffective mess if that isn't stripped off first. Further as the seller mentioned if a layer thick enough to be effective is used it will create a hazy surface which looks little if any better than a little road grime you wash away periodically.

Yes, I think it is "safe". Worst case scenario I can imagine is should you decide to remove the film, the touch-ups could conceivably stick to the film (if the paint didn't adhere well to the body.

It can be used only on painted bumpers. It will stain the black plastic bumpers forever.

They can rust, but what I've seen is only surface rust that can be cleaned off. I would think with proper cleaning and maintenance it would be less of an issue.

I have reused the labels repeatedly without taking them off, but when I have taken them off, I have had no trouble with removal or sticky residue. I have had mine for 2 or 3 years and am still able to erase and reuse them. Good luck, I think you will be happy with them!

They are not waterproof. I put them on the front of my inflatable raft to be silly, and it only got a little wet and was nearly falling apart. The adhesive is decently strong on flat surfaces. That being said I'm not sure what it would do to your paint, but I doubt it would be a good idea to do unless you don't care about your vehicle much.

I would say yes if you sanded them you could paint them. Stain... not sure. Good luck!
