Spring steel, or a beryllium bearing alloy will do it. As long as you stay under the deformation limit in terms of stress, it will come right back to shape.

This could be a great way to do quick in-the-field changes of armor plating on tanks and vehicles, even hardened buildings.

If you say so. Plastic reusable metal is new to me. One time application with the locking mechanism shown yes. Peel it off and reuse it no.
