I blocked it out with blue painters tape to protect the paint, and used a razor blade. To get the rest of the glue off I used acitone and a towel - worked great - but this sounds alot easier!!

 

Would it be wrong to get the "S" from the Suburban and a extra "L" from cobalt and spell Slobalt SS ??

 

yes....

 

its been done already. but with cobalt ls rearranged

 

sorry to resurrect this thread from the dead, but when i debadged the rear it was real cloudy looking underneath the bowtie... will this go away once i wash and wax the car?

 

it could either be residue or surface scratches, its hard to say which without seeing it. did you use goo gone/ similar thinners

 

i used wd-40... it said that it could be used as an adhesive remover. i have a full detail that i'm getting at the local car wash... it's free and i'm just wondering if this is going to go away. sorry i don't have any pictures... i'm at school right now and don't feel like walking home before my next class.

 

Depending on the length of time you had the bowtie on there its possible that the sun could have faded the paint. My friends srt looked the same what when he took of "srt-4" then it went away after a little bit. then again it could be that the wd-40 messed up the clear coat or like mentioned before just surface scratches.

I know guys, Grave Digging is a but just putting in my 2 cents

 

yea i know what ur talkin about the cloudy. when i took off the bull sticker from the dealer there was still glue left on it, so i figured why not try some rubbing alcohol. either rubbing alcohol is a big no-no or some other nonsense is going on. i did it at least 2 months ago and its still there.

 

What do you have to use to put the badge back on? Like if you debadged the ss badge and wanted to move it what would you use to put it some where else?

 

3M double sided (foam) tape (not scotch lol) , pick it up at almost any store

 

i just debadged mine yesterday. got some spider wire 20lb fishing line, goo gone, and wax. works like a charm. GM emblems on the fenders are next.

 

i did everyone but the chevy bowties...it looks nice

 

Same with NWAE. I did everything but the bowties. Personally, I think the 'Balt looks better with the bowties on. I mean, you want to be proud it's a chevy...right?

 

I debadged the Balt today and I also left on the bowties. It looks better with just the bowties.

I plan on either leaving the bowties plain or painting them match the color of the car, but I could fucked to do the paintjob honestly.

 

i debadged mine and my brothers cobalt. i left the bowties on both of them, on his all the ss emblems are off (doors and trunk) and on mine i left the door ss emblems but all the other's are gone, and i too got a little bit of the cloudiness where the ss was on my trunk but im pretty sure its from me rubbing a little too much. oh well a nice buff and polish will get it out.

 

NOT THRASHING OR TAKING CREDIT FOR THIS! i just removed my badges on wednesday and i used a hair dryer to get the glue as hot as possible. Then i used fishing wire to cut through the glue. I used the hair dryer again to peel the rest of the glue off with my finger nail. Finally i used General Purpose Adhesive remover by 3M (local body shop in stock) to remove the extra glue. waxed and that was it. I GOT THE IDEA TO DO THIS FROM THIS THREAD. definetly a great how to!!!

 

ya know on a sedan those long lines on the doors? to those come off the same way?? those bumper things on the front and back doors???

 

I'm pretty sure those will come off same way. A lil Bug&Tar Remover also helps if u get some "chunky" pieces left over after debadge'n.

 

I took them off by using a heat gun...Really easy to remove..I cleaned the car with lighter fluid after that..It did a great job..

 

thanx guys big help!

 

Do you have a pic? Removing those things sound interesting, but I'd like to see how it looks like first. Thanks

 

I used twine (after I broke like 5 pieces of dental floss) and then scraped the crap off with my finger nail and then goo gone to clean it and as soon as I was done with the goo gone I put the water to it to make sure it wouldn't do anything to my paint

 

I did just that and now that spot doenst shine like the rest of the trunk. I waxed twice and it only helped a little. When I pass my hand over it It sounds different then just the smoothness of the rest often paint. What should I do?

 

I also bought 6lb line and it kept breaking so i used an old credit card and it came right off. I used goo gone to get all the glue off and now if you look at it at a certain angle theres an outline of the chevy emblem. Is it that i didn't get all the glue off or could the paint be less faded there? It's weird...
