Matte wrap removal

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

TIA

Put the car in the sun, use a blowdryer, should be fine.

Thanks Vader, but I'm thinking about wrapping mine and wanted to see what happens when you try to remove it

I have had cars with vinyl stickers-graphics and never had a prob with the paint after removal. A light coat of wax can help before you apply it. The only thing that has been is a prob is light color fading around where the vinyl was. The sun fades your paint over time and the vinyl blocks it out.

Unless the installer scratched up the paint with the exacto knife.
