having taken moulds of my entire car i can confirm that you are extremely unlikely to not damage most if not all the panels on the donor car in some small or major way.
The process is full or potential pitfalls when doing a complete car as you are subject to weather and temperature as you can't put the thing in a temp controlled environment so your materials can react with paint etc...firstly there is the damage risk when your peeping the donor e.g. putting the barriers on, filleting the edges... Ive also had the gel coat react badly with paint when it was a little cold and took longer to cure than usual.
Then there is the times were the secondary layers 'splashed' on the paint and caused bubbles.
After the mould is made you have to remove it, usually the buck takes a battering on removal, sometimes the mould sticks and requires brute force to remove.
Having one it there is not a chance i would attempt it on someone else's 'expensive' car that they don't want damaged lol
