Film is easy to remove... depending on the type. 3M is a little harder to take off since the adhesive is a little more agressive. But it lifts right off without damaging the clear coat. I have pulled fil off of cars that have been on for 6+ years. The paint fades at the same rate as he rest of the car so no worrries there. Just pull it ou into the sun, let it warm up, and pull up slowly at a 90 degree angle from the surface. That will help minimize any adhesive left over.
