Now i have debadged my car and am looking to rebadge it....i'm trying to make the letters cobalt go across my trunk and was just wondering whats the best way to go about this and getting the best result as far as getting them going straight across the trunk and not having them go crooked...any tips are much appreciated

 

come on guys, help a fellow cobalt owner out....

 

tape a length of fishing line from the top of your left tail light to the top of the right one....

etc....so that you get horizontal lines to work with.

just basic symmetry man. pic points on left/right top/bottom that are already level, and you can use tape + line to create a grid for yourself

 

^I was just about to type your name in lol

 

thank you sir thanks for the help

oh and +1 rep for you

 

Pick up some automotive masking tape from autozone, walmart etc. You can ust the tape to get a straight line by running a piece across the area you want to put your badge/letters. Then you can use a level to make sure it's straight (car has to be level too!) With the tape you can measure and mark the points where you want to install the individual letters -- if you make a mistake with the marking it will most likely show up the mistake if you step back and eyeball the marks. Measure more than twice to be sure of the placement. You can also run additional pieces of tape vertically and use the level again to insure the letters/badges are straight up and down too.

 

and what do you dip the letters in to make them stick again??

 

3M double sided tape you can get it at autozone

 

ok... my ass was wrecked by a lincoln navigator, and the body shop replaced the trunk, but no letters... where can i get the lettering ... COBALT?

AND... will dry erase markers for lines etc when rebadging hurt the paint?

 

Never tried the dry erase, here are the Cobalt letters:
