Naw this stuff is easy as pie to get off once you have a corner up if you've got 3+ coats on. And if you have over spray you just have to rub it into tiny ***** and a microfiber cloth will take it up easy, no residue left behind. Only difficult part is getting the small inside parts of the badges up. I ended up using a wood kebab skewer and tweezers and that made it easy. My front didn't get cleaned up enough before I did it so I think I'm going to redo it, but they turned out pretty well. Decided to keep the "EX" chrome, I felt like if I sprayed that it'd just look like a black square

Took pictures before I washed them off so they're a little dirty, but it comes off easy. I really like the way they look!

Alright Peli, you've used some of that can. Do you have any bearing on how much is left in the can? I'm trying to gauge how much is necessary to do the whole car?

Might not be easy to answer though depending on how many coats are necessary.

White does not work very well I have read. I just does not cover well.
Red is ok for coverage
Black is the best

10 cans does the whole car

I think 10 cans is a good starting point. It's taken about 20% of the can to do 4 coats on my emblems, taped them off at about 6"x6" squares, and I did a total of 5 of those because I didn't like how the first rear one turned out or the first front.
