De-badging
Does anybody have any pointers on taking all the badges off without scratching my paint. Are the "Blazer" emblems a stick on or do they mount into your doors?

RE: De-badging
Get a heat gun and some fishin line...
Mine came off quite easy. Buy some Goo-Gone to remove the left overs, then wash the area, and wax it. |
RE: De-badging
The emblems themselves are the easy part but the double-sided tape on the back om em and the door trim is kinda a pain to get off if you dont use fishing line. But after I got the tape offI used this stuff called spar cream and it removed all the dirt and other nasties left behind from the tape and it cleaned it nicely.

i agree with zasder, minus the heat gun.
ahair dryer on high power works good, just takes a bit more time...i like to be ultra cautious when it comes to paint. fishing line is a great idea, unfortunately i didn't have any handy at the time so i used the white nylon straping that they use for shipping boxes. pretty much anything thin and strong that doesn't have a rough surface. once you have it off use goo-gone or something similiar to remove the leftovers, and give 'er a good wash! |
RE: De-badging
i have dont this before with a mitsubishi and i took a blow dryer and fishing line, then use rubbing alcohol and rub off any dirt or tackyness left over.

RE: De-badging
yea the nylon method is way I use

RE: De-badging
a buddy of mine swears by WD40 he says spray alot on the tape let sit for a while then use a bath towel to remove it, i used nail polish remover and wd40 mixed together took some elbow grease but cane right off witch i thought was great considering it was 14yrs old

RE: De-badging
If your using fishing line make sure you have at least a 25LB test or more, otherwise you'll be yelling at yourself when you break the line every quarter inch tape you cut with it. Just speaking from experience..

Just speaking from experience.. I came in here to say exactly this. I tried once with 12lb and it was horrible!! |
