Pierce the center with a tooth pic, once you get a handle on the plastic start rolling the tooth pic between your fingers, thus, rolling the dip onto the pic. The dip should peel off in 1 shot or until the tooth pic snaps lol.
I suggest removing the center as it will look dirty over time after dust etc builds up on it.

2. Most importantly, not scratch any part of my paint.

I am happy to say everything came off without a hitch. The plastidip peeled off my paint as easily as the day I applied it. It's truly a testament to the durability and consistency of this product.
Done. Yay! Now this I like better;
