Does this affect the paint at all? I need to cover some new hard saddle bags on my bike for a trip but I want to take the Carbon Fiber off after.

No it doesn't affect the paint at all it really doesn't stick very hard. Should be great on your saddle bags

When these stickers are used on a hard surface like plastic, they probably can be removed easily. however when used on fabrics they are supposed to be permanent and removing them may or may not leave traces of the sticker depending on the material. When I used it on a nylon strap it came out over time very easy without leaving even a trace, but on more porous fabrics it looks like it "melts" within the fibers.

Haven't tried "covering" rust with it. You need to clean off rust (I used emery cloth) before applying the Krylon. It worked great for me that way. Always prep, no matter what you paint. Good luck.

I made a marine tex patch to repair a crack in the deck of my sailboat, then painted 2 coats of this paint over it. It stuck to the marine tex as well as it did to the other fiberglass surfaces I painted. No problem.

I just bought this and used it on my tan saddle bag. No color change at all and not oily or sticky. You can apply lightly and buff afterward to remove any excess. I was pleased.

Hello Monica,Our black carbon fiber cover will not cover the air holes of your product and it will not cause overheating. Thank you for your inquiry.

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?

The sealer is very tough to remove and I have no idea if it will harm a good paint job. . I did not care as my tanks needed re-painting anyway. I did 2 tanks and both came out perfect. Make sure you do it right by the book and have a heat gun!

That depends on how long your bike is.. They are 2 separate pieces. Anyways, it's perfectly fine on paint.

I painted the lower unit of my outboard motor with it. It is in fresh water all summer long and looked real good when I pulled my boat in the fall. I used one can and live on an 80 acre lake. I would ask Moeller what they think. I worked for an auto company. A car gives off a lot of emissions from the paint for 6 months or so. You might have to test with goldfish. Good luck

Yes, applied it 3 months ago to a bike with a carbon frame with a matte finish and it holds great. The tape looks perfectly clear, however have not removed it so am uncertain whether it would leave a residue following removal.

I have used it on my fiberglass motorcycle fairing and it works great. That said, I do not think that it is designed to remove accumulated oxidation...probably best to use some other type of mild abrasive product first...

Colleen, I've seen this on many of my projects too. The prior stain or paint was applied without sealing the wood, so the stain was absorbed unevenly. In some cases I've used alcohol (although this tends to raise the grain) or a dental pick to scrape out paint (but this can leave scratches). Since I usually use a walnut stain, it obscures most of the prior stain/paint. Unless the old covering is in a highly visible area, you are probably OK.

Since neither one is a magic bullet - i'd go with about the same. I cleaned and sanded the area and applied twice. It says it doesn't effect the surrounding area which isn't entirely true. It slightly discolors it. I feathered it out and it isn't as noticeable. It did cover the rust and dry with a black primer coat which quickly rusts again if you just leave it exposed.

I'm removing the original paint on a commercial cart, the same one you see at Home depot. The paint is really tough to remove down to metal, looks like I'm using up most of the woven pad. And this is before using hand scraper, needle scaler and hard disk grinder. However Norton is the fastest but most expensive - it's a trade off. Next time I'll try torching the paint off then follow up with a diamond grinder.

No, it is clearcoated..I have it on my '05 STi and love it...I believe it's listed sometimes as dry carbon for some reason..

The stuff reacts chemically with the rust and forms a hard black coating. I have painted over the stuff and use it on all bare steel, including paint chips on my car.
