Well i was talk to a few people yesterday about de-badging my baby and went to the auto parts store to buy a pin strip eraser and come to find out that NAPA is high priced from what i have heard it should cost between 10-20 dollars well napa wanted 36.00 for so i didnt get it done last night have to find a cheaper one.....

 

I used fishing line in a cutting motion. Then Good Off, which is the same as Goo Gone, followed by a light polish compound and wax.

 

I think that is the route im going to use that little piece of erase was 30.oo buck but o well it will be done this weekend i just didnt want to have to put any kind of chemicals on my paint ..

 

usually summer sun (heat), a nice toasty garage in the winter, .. some patience, and time !

 

chemicals heck i used degreaser. I don't think it did anything. But to my stupidity used a rag to wipe off the glue which lightly scratched the paint. I just need to color sand and polish now. It looks way better when its done though.

 

I'm just afraid of messing up the paint my truck is flawless as far as scrathes and dents and gets waxed 1 a month so just alittle nervous

 

I would be too but hey my truck already has small dents scratches and everything so I just said **** it.

 

I did mine w/ goo gone, fishing line & patience. Didn't see much change when I tried heat so didn't bother...but it was pretty warm that day.

The soft clothes I used didn't do any damage to the paint nor did the chemicals.

Just bring your patience It isn't the fastest process on the planet.

 

How do you find time to wax once a month? It's been 2 years since I was able to last do mine. I'm thinking of taking it to a shop, but I don't know if I want to pay labour for 8+ hours of work. The swirls in the paint are starting to show really bad, but I'm holding off at the moment because I'm not sure if I want to debadge as well.

 

thanks for all of the advice.....
