okay sorry to revive an old thread but i figure this is a good spot to post this..
So ive successfully debadged so i can repaint.. now once i repaint, how do i RE badge.. at least the trunk.. lol.. the foam 2sided stick is thicker than what ive seen on shelves, any one got suggestions? or product locals?
08-19-2009
3m doulble sided sticky foam works. at the parts store for like 7 bucks i think

I struggled a lot with the dealership badge, but found that WD-40 works wonders on the adhesive. So when I removed the '24 VALVE V6' badges I used WD-40 and an old CD and it worked beautifully! The cd was soft and flexible enough to work fine with the paint. I just soaked a little WD-40 into the badge for a few minutes beforehand, then whiped it with a rag afterwards.

Blow dryer in one hand, and a small flat head screwdriver in the other. Next, use your finger nail to get the rubbery tape stuff off. A good cleaner/wax will take off the residue

that's pretty risky to be using a flat headed screwdriver next to your paint. one little slip and you've got a big problem. I'd recommend the fishing line instead, its a lot safer.
08-29-2009
just did mine, its really easy. used fishing line and elmers sticky removal stuff (same as goo gone). looks a lot better now

DO - send me enough letters to make a GTP front grill badge!!
yeah... I'd stay away from anything metal when taking stuff off. I've also read that the magic eraser works well at getting the goo off, and doesn't damage paint................so I used it on my wife's truck as a test....so far so good, no lost gloss either.

oh and i also used a little plastic scraper. heres the outcome
08-29-2009
just used dental floss to get the dealer badge started, then pulled it off the rest of the way, then cleaned up the goo with wd-40.. I'm leaving the Limited Edition badges on though!

ive got 2 sides of GRAND PRIX SE that i wont be using.. im only keeping the trunk
08-30-2009
If you're retarded, don't use the screwdriver. It was easy for me, but... I'm good! LOL
No damage done, looks perfect.
08-30-2009
i pryed mine off with my bare hands on a hot day lol, had the goo still there.. but it came off easy
08-30-2009
I used coated electrical wire at the junk yard today because the floss kept braking.. gotta be resourceful ya know! It was much stronger, and cut through the tape like butter!
08-30-2009
well at the junk yard, use whatever works lol becuase its not your car!

ive been debating on whether or not to debadge my GP. will it leave an outline of the badge when u take it off? like...brighter paint under where it was compared to the rest of the car or anything?
03-16-2010
no it will not leave an outline if you clean it right afterward, just use alcohol, goo gone, goof off, etc. as stated before
03-16-2010
alright cool. thats all i needed to know. thanks sir.
