FAQs
What is the purpose of the V&CO Peel & Stick Tester?
The tester allows you to sample a specific paint color, 'Blue Shade 6' in this case, on your wall before committing to a full paint purchase. It offers a mess-free way to see how the color looks in your home's lighting.
How large is the tester sample?
The product information does not specify the exact dimensions of the tester, but it is designed as a convenient size for sampling a color hue on a wall.
Can I reuse the tester after removing it?
The testers are designed for single use in terms of application and color testing. Reapplying may compromise adhesion.

How many colors are available in the V&CO collection?
The V&CO collection offers a curated palette of 45 rich and saturated hues.
Is this product suitable for textured walls?
While it adheres best to smooth, clean, and dry surfaces, performance on heavily textured walls may vary. It is recommended to test in an inconspicuous area first.
What should I do if the tester leaves residue?
If any residue remains after removal, it can typically be wiped away with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Tester will not adhere to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Avoid applying to dusty, oily, or excessively textured surfaces. For best adhesion, test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Bubbles appear under the tester
When applying, smooth the tester from the center outwards. If bubbles are present after application, try gently lifting an edge and re-applying, smoothing as you go.
Difficulty removing the tester
Peel slowly and at a low angle. If resistance is met, try gently warming the tester with a hairdryer on a low setting from a distance before peeling.
