Has anyone here removed a full or partial matte vinyl wrap from their MB? Any damage to the paint?

TIA

What're you up to exactly?

I'm trying to see if there's any damage to the paint before I embark on something like a full wrap haha

Somethin is brewing over there in your garage and it smells like C63...do we need send Callmiro to spy on your *** and take photos?

I have re-wrapped my hood and bumper. No problems or damage at all. I did a full wrap myself so if you have any questions i'll help you out.

Actually the whole idea of wrapping a car is to protect the paint. It would make no sense if removing the vinyl damaged the paint.

Did you use a pattern or just buy rolls & freehand it?

I would say that full wraps are more for style than protection, but I agree with your main point that in theory vinyl will only protect the paint; however, I was asking about prior experience because logic does not always translate into tangible outcome.

I bought a roll of oracle 970RA and cut out pieces freehand. Light painters tape and string made measuring panes easy.
