Another De-Badging!

[LBZ]

Well thanks to Larry Jewell's pics and Mr Rye Whiskey, my truck is now de-badged as well.
I need to peel some glue off yet but they ain't going back on that's for sure!!

Not sure how I feel about it yet. I haven't looked at it sober yet!

I'll post some pics later today.

:nopic:


Getting the glue off is a pain, butt, since your not sober, just slowly roll it off with your fingers, it may take a while, but it is well worth it. Don't use any rubbing compounds or liquid to quickly take the glue off as it will intensify your headache

Your local Auto Paint store will have a huge wheel eraser made for this that you put in a drill and spin at slow speed!!!! And they work like a dream...There like $8 bucks.

DO NOT USE GOO GONE....... i used on my last debadging of my tahoe and it ended up eating through my clear coat

had to get the whole side painted. use some stuf called 3M adhesive remover and it work like a charm

It looks so much better.
Use lacquer thinner to get that glue off.

If the double back tape is still pretty thick nothing will work like this eraser i'm telling you about. All the body shops use them to remove everything from pin stripes to full side graphics and it will not hurt the paint at all!! Very quick also..

I'll just shut up...

I was gonna suggest a razor blade scraper, but it looks like you got the situation handled

I had pics but sometime during the past couple days amidst a runaway drunkening that was called halloween I lost my SD card from my camera.

Now I need to buy another one and take a bunch more pics.

I will post when I get things back on the right track. And yes, that double sided foamy tape crap sux to take off.

But it does look better!

When i did mine i used a very thin cable and wedged it between the panel and the badge. It cut the double tape like a knife (mind you tape was warm).

I also let it sit in the sun and used a LITTLE heat gun... turns the stuff to gopher snot.. rolls up like little rubber cement boooogers.:rofl:

Watched a guy try it in the cold with a razor, actually chipped the paint with the glue

Hide the 8 lugs and the rattle and install 1500 emblems, sleeeeeeeeeeeeeper.

we used a heat gun and dental floss then tried fishing line
perhaps we got a lil impatient,because of all the leftover foam crap
