Paint damage
Vinyl bonds directly to the substrate over time. On vehicles or painted surfaces, removal can pull paint or clear coat — especially where paint is older, sun-damaged, previously repaired or poorly bonded.

Important information
Risks, care and pricing to understand before vinyl removal starts.
Vinyl removal — risks and pricing
Removing vinyl can reveal or cause issues with paintwork, clear coat and other substrates. By proceeding, you acknowledge that removal is undertaken at your risk and that StickaLex cannot accept responsibility for underlying surface defects or damage caused by their condition.
Glue residue
Even where the film lifts cleanly, adhesive residue is common. The amount depends on the vinyl age, adhesive type and the surface it was applied to.
Cleaning and chemicals
Specialist solvents and degreasers may be needed to remove residue. These chemicals are included in the hourly rate, particularly for larger vehicles and aged installations.
