I've done that before. Sometimes you just gotta put some force into it.

It will make the color much deeper, I guess bolder may be a better work.


I've used those plastic razorblades at work, and they scratched the paint pretty good when trying to remove dealer stickers. They might work better on solid badges, but they just don't have any leverage. Just use a heat gun/hairdryer to heat up the glue first, then use a plastic spatula.

not if you konow hat your doing lol just do what ever method you feel the most comfortable with

ive found that it all seems to go better using a razor if the area around the spot is already buffed or polished. the razor glides right over it and doesnt want to try to catch on anything because its all smooth. also use a claybar to remove the grit in that area befor you buff or polish it

just as a personal preference, i dont like the plasic razor blades. but to be honest ive never used one either, just the way they look doesnt sit so great with me. to me it looks almost useless

POSTING A DEAD THREAD BUT...

where can i get the letters of the GTP for the grill?

Thanks (:

Go get the badge from a Grand Prix gT

i understand that the debadging issue was resolved, but, how i would recommend is doing it with whatever method you feel comfortable with. i personally prefer to use a razor blade and 3m adhesive remover. no dental floss, no fishing line, no heat gun, no plastic razor/ scraper. i work at a dealer and havent had a single problem with those 2 things. takes off dealer stickers and decals and doesnt leave any scratches, whenever i do this im usually buffing the car anyways so i like to buff where the sticker/ decal was and then wax the whole car including that spot.
like i said only use whatever you feel comfortable with using.

you use a razor blade? that's not a risk for scratching the hell out of the car at all.
