Whats the best way to de badge our trucks? my paints really good, don't wanna mess it up doing this? heat gun?

 

I took a heat gun and lightly warmed the badge... leaving it in the sun will do the same thing.

Strong fishing line, saw it back and forth behind the badge. Get a Mr Clean magic eraser or a 3M eraser wheel for the glue residue after you get the badge off.

 

A heat gun to soften it up, and then some fishing line to cut through the adhesive foam. Companies like Eastwood sell special tools and solvents for this.

 

Snap On air hammer with the tail pipe cutter for the delicate areas

 

thanks guys. hardly great has cheapo heat guns, i'll get one and give it a shot.

 

I mean, don't blow your money on something a hair dryer will fix...

 

Fishing line works great. I've also squirted some lighter fluid on the foam to loosen the adhesive and then just pried the emblem off.

 

Hair dryer, goo-gone, and fishing line! Easy enough....

 

I used a heat gun, credit card and goo gone. Came off rather easy.

 

How bad was the ghost image once the badges were removed? I'm gonna do a 2006 with a white paint job.

 

I never did remove them. One of those things I think I'll ge taround to doing and never seem to do it. When I posted this thread I had just gotten my mega. So I was all hot n bothered to mess with everything.
I have removed lots of badges from other vehicles though over the last few years. Heat gun, scraper / fishing line. Then wipe down with acetone.

 

Not to be a smart ×÷= let someone else do it

 

Why let or even pay someone else do it??

It's super ez just as described…a little fishing line or dental floss (with or with out heat) to cut through the adhesive foam and then a rag with goo gone, or a cordless drill with a 3m "eraser disk", to remove the residue.

 

spray carburetor cleaner works great also
