This is relevant to me as I need to replace the wing walk during the inspection
this year.  Mine is peeling off (maybe because my airplane is so fast?!? ha)

Any experience with the paint on kind?

What is the best solvent to remove the old wing walk / adhesive without paint damage?

I removed some in the fall and just used a heat gun to heat it gently,
and then it peeled up without any paint issues. But it would be
easily possible to pull paint off rivet heads if they're covered.
That said, as long as you're reapplying, you can always paint
the rivet heads and they should stay buried. Peel towards
the center from all edges first, and that should help ensure
no paint issues.

If it is the self-adhesive variety, I would recommend gentle use of a heat
gun....as I see Tim just suggested.
I would recommend against the brushed-on variety. I've never seen any
hand-applied wing walk that looked right.
I'm not sure how paint shops put it on, but they generally do a good job.
