I want to stick these to a car but am concerned the adhesive will cause damage to the paint. Any experience with this?

These have no adhesive on them unless the product title says it is self stick. I used blue painters tape or some Velcro dots.

I haven't used the adhesive to stick them to anything. I have glue dots at home and they are very hardy and have not damaged anything they have touched. I have used the eyes on the car with the glue dots, however the back is cardboard so if you don't seal it in something waterproof (if you're planning on keeping them on for a prolonged period) then they will slightly warp in the rain.

They are not waterproof. I put them on the front of my inflatable raft to be silly, and it only got a little wet and was nearly falling apart. The adhesive is decently strong on flat surfaces. That being said I'm not sure what it would do to your paint, but I doubt it would be a good idea to do unless you don't care about your vehicle much.

Please note that these googly eyes do not have any adhesive on them. I have found that magnets will hold them on till about 30MPH. If you want to go faster, then you will have to glue them on. You can use 3M double sided tape and it will hold. Do not use the clear stuff. To remove, you pull them off then use denatured alcohol and a hair dryer to remove the tape. Since the alcohol will remove the wax from the car, you will need to protect the paint (or clear coat) by applying a good hard wax.I also would not use these on cars for more than one day. If you want to look, then I would get some white peel and stick vinyl, cut the circle and then get black vinyl and cut smaller circles.

I'm so sorry but because of the cold and snowy weather I have not tried them out on my car. I will say the adhesive is not super strong. I put them on my steel front door and they fell off within 2 days. Again, that may have been because of the very cold weather.

The adhesive is quite strong. I wouldn't stick them to a painted surface. I stuck them on a back windshield, and it left adhesive residue that had to be scrapped off.

I would not try another adhesive. This product should not be on the market because it does not work. It is not Safe-er, it is dangerous when people that need help rely on this product. If you use an adhesive to secure this product and the adhesive fails then you have taken away the liability that this company should have for selling an inferior product.

The adhesive IS for one time placement. You could probably get it off with some effort, but I doubt it would stick anywhere after that.

Not at all. We had no problem with the adhesive. The prep you did should be perfect. Make sure you follow the instructions, and put the panels up in the order recommended, and with the proper overlap. Other than the fact that it is time consuming, and you need 2 people, it is fairly simple. It is beautiful when done! Ours has been up for 2 years now, and our daughter still loves it! We do too.

I don't think the paint would stick. Possibly a spray paint but would have a different finish.

I think u can Don't think it will harm the paint just bc plasti dip rips off after it drys hope this helps

Yes, they can be removed easily without damaging the paint. The adhesive isn't really sticky - just effective.

yes, these decals come off very easily and leave no residue. Just a thought- I wasn't able to securely reattach them after removal

I'm using them for placement on glass and they stick pretty well. I haven't tried removing but I think it would take some effort to remove them and you probably run the risk of destroying the sticker in the process. I'd liken their "stickiness" to the average bumper sticker?

Yes they are adhesive. I believe so. Most anything installed with adhesive is clear coat safe.

If you are adhering them to a very clean, flat surface, they should hold up okay. My concern, as you said, is if they get wet. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in them if they DO get wet as they're not really made for that. You could always use epoxy or a small screw to adhere them to the surface and that would likely rectify the issue of them potentially getting wet. Check your local home depot or lowe's, they probably have something better for your application than this.

We used tape to put it up and it did not damage the paint... I hope this helps.

I would not apply it over paint. I strongly doubt that it would adhere well and would not be maintainable. I would suggest maintaining the surface with the original paint instead.

I don't think it will hurt the paint. I have a Holiday Rambler and the little spray I got on the paint didn't cause any damage at all.

They should come off without any issue as long as the paint under was in good condition and was not painted right before you out it on.

Depends on the texture of the dash. The adhesive didn't stick at all to one car. If it does stick, use some orange oil to remove any residual adhesive.

If you install them on a dirty car, yes, you take the chance of scratching the finish. Where it attaches is small enough that it would be reasonable to wipe the mounting area prior to putting them on. As for denting from too much tightening, the instructions detail on how to use the included tool to properly torque the mounting screws as to not damage the car or the mounting brackets.
