Thinking ahead - how hard is it going to be to remove vinyl or ppf down the road? Is it a pain or not bad at all? I'm a wrap noob and never had any vehicle wrapped. I'm thinking I decide on color and after 3-5 years I change it. As DIY type what kind of pain in the ass am I looking at?

Thanks!

From what I've hear so far, it's really easy if you use the right stuff.
But if you don't use the right stuff, you are repainting any other vehicle and painstaking piece by little piece removal.

And there's no telling what, if any discolorations may occur to the Stainless over time.

And of course there was an argument over it. But the simple fact that it hit both extremes of the spectrum did make me stop and think.

Good point. I'm in no hurry to do anything yet. I'll let that decision make itself. I like the stainless look. I have a stain or discoloration I uncovered when passivating the frunk top that I want Tesla to look at before I do anything. I guess only time will answer the question when folks starting peeling vinyl to replace or go back stainless.
