Do a search, there are several old posts on this subject.

Sammy,
You are correct that the paint is hit with a scuffing material before they apply the vinyl. In the mass production of these vehicles they had to have clear coated the entire door then scuffed it. I was able to just buff my clear coat out. The only reason I say it did not hit the base coat is because when I buffed it the pad stayed clean and did not pick up any white residue. If someone was extremely worried about it or wanted a completely different look you could have a piece of color matched vinyl cut to replace the black after you removed it. I cut vinyl stickers and graphics and I have and can get all kinds of metallic and colors but I don't know if the white will match. I will try tonight and see how close of a color match it is.
