Removing a Turbo Diesel Badge

Just wondered if any of you knew of an easy way to remove one of those turbo diesel badges without damaging the paint.

I have one that's a bit crooked that I would like to replace. They are really stuck on good.

Regards;

David

Re: Removing a Turbo Diesel Badge

I've heard that a good length of fishing monofilament line pulled behind the badge will cut it off. Then use a solvent to remove any remaining adhesive.

Re: Removing a Turbo Diesel Badge

David,

I've had luck with using a rag under a corner, and slowly apply pressure and it slooooowly starts to lift. You'll need to put a rag or something that will keep the opposite corner from digging into the paint. A little heat helps too, like a hair dryer.

Dental floss, braided fishing line, or those plastic straps (banding material) that are around boxes. Saw back and forth without pulling out too hard.

Re: Removing a Turbo Diesel Badge

As always you guys always have the answer. I never knew dental floss could be really useful...

Took the badge off in about 5 minutes. The adhesive was still fresh and peeled right off with no paint damage.

Replaced it with a new badge and looks real good.

Thanks guys appreciate the info.

David

Re: Removing a Turbo Diesel Badge

The body shops use light heat from heat guns and lift.

LOL...I'm with you on that. I never floss. However, I do have two comments that ARE relevant on the topic of flossing:

1) My father's dentist told him once, "There is no sense whatsoever in flossing teeth you don't want to keep." [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]

2) The statistics show that people who floss their teeth regularly live 2 years longer than people who don't. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

So, maybe I should pull out that funny looking white string that's been sitting my in bathroom drawer all these years.
