That should not be too difficult to remove. The bummer part is the adhesive. If the paint is factory finish, we use xylol to remove the adhesive. It stinks and you need to wear good gloves but it works like a sumbeech on the adhesive.
Removals should always be billed on time and material basis. Every one is different... even if they look the same. Trust me.

I'm thinking about all the possible things that could go awry during the removal, especially paint coming off, and wonder if I need to have the client sign a waiver.
Does anyone here use a waiver/disclaimer for wrap removals?

Hiya Lindsey, As Bruce mentioned, it should come off relatively easy since you stated it's only been on for about a year.
If I were to ballpark the time, I would say 4 to maybe 6 hours. However, it depends on the details, such as the extent of the wrap, whether or not the installer used adhesive promoter and, if they did use it, how liberally it was applied.
Beyond that, I really don't have a disclaimer for wrap removals installed by someone else. But, in any case, I always inform the client that, sometimes, stuff happens due to improper installation techniques, poor paint prep and/or adhesion or other, unknown factors. And, although I take great care in the processing of their product, I can not guarantee perfection.
Edited to add that, if needed, a wallpaper steamer or a weed burner is a good alternative to a heat gun because they can warm up a larger area in less time. Just choose whatever you're more comfortable working with.
