when u say 4 5 years.. i can tell you one thing.. there is nothing which can use to damage the wall...why ?

this is because after 1 or 2 years.. the wall original color will start to fade to another darker colour.. u can see this in typical old house.. however , if you cover the wall with a poster, after you remove the poster few years later, you can see the huge different.. the wall colour behind the poster are still in good condition... meanwhile the wall color which you everyday see actually faded away already

you mean the transparent one?

yes those transparent 1...but try to use the bigger size 1..easier to peel..

and if u failed to remove the cello tape completely...it will be still fine..cos it's transparent ...n ppl usually wont go notice it la...sometimes ppl oso can failed when peel if ma..

Right answer, TS dunno about this? If pix is heavy, use heavy duty tape.

i see.

if want to repaint the wall, will it be the good idea? as in...
there's one layer of paint before. then u add another layer (maybe slightly different colour as sometimes we will cannot remember 100% the exact colour we used when the paint is still in liquid form).
I always got the impression that the 2nd layer is very easy to be peeled off

don't think you really read through the title and first post.

how bout my suggestion?

if your paint did not get direct sunlight everyday , then is okay to have second layer... if you have other colour such as light blue , light yellow.. second layer should be something darker to cover the first layer. when u have darker colour d.. you want back to light colour, unfortunatelly , you have to waste more money on getting the wall back to white color coz is always the first colour foundation if you want to have nice colour contrast in your house..

like u said will leave stain...so considering. if the stain can be cleaned, i don't mind.

it's not stain pro...juz mayb partial of cello tape remained on the wall...u can peel if off 1..but need extra effort...how can u c stain if it's transparent? and if u fold the 1 piece of tape into 2 and paste in onto the wall..it will be easier to remove 1

your wall paint color is mixed by professionals which cost RM1million per litre ma??? no rite??? use lar those stuffs that fade your wall color away...then help them to paint back after few years.

i earn 1 million a year ma? no rite?

so, another question. can we peel of the entire existing paint?

go buy aerosol glue spray mounting spray whatever its called , spray2 on poster then gantung2 on wall

you can still see it even if it is transparent. I had a bunch of those in my old room since I like to stick stuff on my wall. The cello tape that remains is reflective hence easily seen.

In my experience of sticking stuff onto the wall, there's none that will not leave a stain. There will be one way or the other. The difference is some may be worse than the other.
