Wipe it down with some cleaner/degreaser and shoot it! If it doesn't turn out, peel it off.

No. That would defeat the undoable aspect of it

The biggest Thing is you want to do about 4-5 coats. The thicker it's on there, the easier it is to peel off WHEN you WANT it to. Make sure you let each coat completely dry, about 30 min, and try not to do it on a humid day
