When removing, will (or might) the film possibly remove paint?

I have not removed mine, but it is not supposed to. My understanding from the instructions is that you should heat the area a bit with a hair dryer to aid in removal. 3M makes top notch stuff. I am not worried about it when the time comes to remove the film. Stick to the 3M stuff. And no, I don't work for 3m;)

Hi Lee, I read many posts which indicated it does not, however I have not had to remove the film myself so this is 2nd hand knowledge and not personal experience.

Should not be a problem, unless the the paint is poor quality with poor adhesion. Factory paint or proper body shop paint should not be a problem

It shouldn't if paint is in good condition. If paint is peeling the film could pull some of the paint.

No I have had it one and off many surfaces of the car without any problems.

It souldn't if ther is some adhesive left behind just clean it with adhesive remover. Haven't removed mine but have dealt with adhesive, chrome or paint before. 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.

Yes, film is easily removed. No, the solution is easy to clean and leaves no residue behind.

I think it would peel off. Actually I used mi no to cover shutter louvers and it wouldn't stay. I believe the film is best suited for metallic surfaces.

Yes it should take the streak off your wall without damaging the paint. The only thing that you should be aware of is if the paint job is not new and your walls are a little dirty you will be able to tell where you used the magic eraser verse where you did not in certain lights.

As far as I can tell its permanent . They even recommend putting silicone adhesive around the edges. Im sure you could get it off but it would take a while and ruin the film.

I haven't removed mine, but it doesn't seem as though it would be hard to remove or there would be any residue left.

Yes it can be removed in order to paint but you will not be able to reuse it.

I would sayy yes as long as the film only had loose dirt or household dust. As opposed to any sticky substance or other contaminent

I repositioned my bumptek strip when first applying it and there was no damage to the paint. I haven't tried removing it, though. Good luck -CR

I was able to remove mine from my office wall without a problem. It didn't appear to damage the existing paint or leave residue.

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

I would say it would it's only a textured paint it can be removed if it doesn't work for you just roll it on

Yea, I guess it could. It has great adhesive in the back. The only thing is I'm not sure how you would remove it without damaging the paint.

I doubt it, the film will probably tear away from the glass, it is weakly held on by adhesive.
