Best way to remove adhesive behind emblems???
 

I am getting some different emblems for my car and need to know a good adhesive remover to use without harming the paint.

heat it up and roll it off with your fingers or use fishing line to help get under. you can also use enamal reducer. that will weaken the bond and break down the adheasive but becarefull using it.

what do you mean? could it melt yoru fingers or inhalation will kill you or what?

My buddy took his off but I don't remember what he used...it's like a liquid that he put on a rag and the stuff came off pretty easily.

enamal reducer is what he probably used. when i say be carefull, it can stain your clear if you rub hard enough or let it sit without whiping it off...

you could try bug a tar remover i forgot what i used when i put on a silver ford emblem to replace the blue one.

where did you get the silver emblem?

ill have to look back into it. im not sure if he makes mineral grey but it was 55 bucks. i might have his email still im not sure. if i dont then my roommate might. the guy made one for his dark highland green bullitt.

Wasn't the emblem just silver?

heres a pic i have.

Looks weird...maybe the shading or angle...I don't think I want to spend 55 bucks thoudh...I was looking at some online at www.autobadges.com

its the same as a stock one just silver instead of blue

That's cool...I looked for those for a long time then just gave up.

3M Adhesive Remover...available at a Walmart near you. Works great, no harm to your paint.

I think that's what I've used before...I'll swing by Wal-Mart and check it out, thanks.

Pam spray will remove sticky stuff. You just gotta work it in. Bug and Tar remover works good but you may want to get the bug and tar remover off cause that stuff is caustic. Some sticky stuff is almost crazy to get off. Like those dealer emblems. :mad:

turpentine works, but i wouldnt get it near ur paint....

that looks NICE. but I bet its way overpriced. where'd u get it?

I just pryed mine off but used an extra thick rag to not scrath the paint. Then used "Goo Gone" to eliminate the adhesive. Did both fenders in about 5 min.

Yes another vote for "goo gone" that thing is the ****!! :cool:

I used goo gone and fishing line

Goo Gone is cheap and easy! :D
