My floor is painted. Do I have to remove the paint or just scratch it?

As long as the surface is clean, it should adhere, unless direction say different.

Since I don't have marble floors, I can't say if it will scratch or not. There's a strip on the pad for getting tough dirt off, but it isn't gritty really. My dogs have done more damage to my cheapy wood floors over the years than this pad could.

Paint is scratched by dirt particles, not the solution. The cloth used should be soft and absorbent and clean and free of any dirt or sand. The product is flawless, leaving a beautiful gloss, but make sure the paint is clean before it is used.

The only thing I've found is regular cleaning with Bona Floor Cleaner, and a new coat of clear varnish. Sorry :(

I haven't noticed it scratching my hardwood floors, (or any other floors), but my wood floors are parquet, and are not covered with polyurethane, so scratches would be less noticeable anyway.

It will scrap off it minor pressure or scratch pad. If I was giving it for a 5 year old I would top coat it anyway. Don't think the paint would hurt but I would be more comfortable over coating. tx

No, just go to your local store and buy the felt stuff you put on the bottom of furniture that prevents it from scratching the floor. Same thing.

It would definitely be better to sand it off first. Your taking a big chance of the product delaminating from the spray paint. As far as the textured spray paint that would give you the best chance but I do epoxy floors for a living and have seen it come off of spray paint.

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!

I agree with SRR - you just have to be sure to get it inserted all the way to the rubber boot, and remove it carefully as well. (I have scratch marks too, because I was hasty and didn't listen to my own advice - go figure)

The surface contact area of the base, is covered/shielded by a thin layer of polyurethane plastic. I will neither mar nor scratch the painted finish. However, I would advise against sliding the base along the surface. It is best to tilt-up the base then lift it entirely off the surface, when either relocating or removing the antenna.

Yes it does scratch, but not easily. The only way that I would know how to fix would be to put another layer on top of the old.

Carefully use a product called; "Goo Gone" in a spray bottle. Spray it and let it soak up (on its side) for several minutes so you don't scratch it. It should slide right off!

The wood is already finished, if you just wipe it down (pledge wipes or something similar) and then assemble it will be fine. If you have wood floors you might think about round felt foot sliders for the bottom so you won't scratch the floor (available at any hardware store).

I shine it with furniture polish. If it get marked or have lines, you can cover it with this special furniture markers from Bed bath and Beyond. Its called Guardmans.
