Good job, but I'll stay with my $12 pin stripe eraser from an auto body & paint store and five minutes start to finish, thank you...
I've taken some badges off mine (not a total debadging, and totally debadged two buddie's trucks and I've still got enough eraser left for maybe two more debadges before it's worn to the metal. At $3 per debadge and literally 10-15 minutes to do a whole truck, I'll stick with it.

Afterthought: somebody should send NAPA a really nasty email or letter. Over 3x the cost of the exact same product is a rip-off!!!

Just for giggles I went by the NAPA store today. For once they knew what I was talking about. Not in stock (as usual)... store on the other end of the county has some... $36, but I can have one for only $28! Yeah, right. Came home and ordered one for ten bucks. Shipping and all still less than $28 an' I don't have to drive an hour to get it.

do any of the badges use alignment pins? I though that the manufacters had stopped using them but on a 06 Ranger that a customer brough in for some graphics I round freakin' alignment pins and had to install the graphics around the badge or else there would have been holes in the panel! I was blown away! My 98 chevy didn't have them when I debadged it and put graphics on! I want to get some sweat graphics together for my 08 Ram 1500 quad cab but have been hesitent since I never though to ask on here whether there were alignment pins!
