Default Debadge????

Ok so I want to remove the fender and doorbadges on my truck. What exactly will I need? ...and what should I be careful of?...I dont want to mess up my pretty truck.
I searched around for the answer here and couldnt find anything except pics of some done already.

Pretty much what jortiz said. I just let the truck sit in the sun for an hour or so instead of using a heatgun, but I am going to try a heatgun with the new truck. I used some fishing line I had. Also I used the "A" out of ram and a lot of WD40 to scrap the left over foam off. Then wash the truck really good to get all the WD40 and any remaining residue off the truck. At first you could still see where the badges were but after a few weeks you could not tell anymore. Now to have the free time to do it to the new truck.[&o]

I used fishing line to cut the badges off.. goo gone to break down the adhesive material and a white pencil eraser to remove the left over material the thing about erasers is that it cuases enough frictiona nd heat the remove the gunk but not enough to scratch or blemish the paint i have done three trucks so far and not a single scratch o yeah you also need a 12 pack ...

Holy freaking hell!......My fingers are killing me. I removed all the badges except for the RAM on the drivers door. I used a whole bottle off goo gone...lots of microfiber towels ...wd40 .........and gas(<---Does absolutely nothing BTW).But I have to admit it looks so dam good on one side!...Gonna finish it up tomorrow and clean it up real good along with getting the last 3 letters off...but i will try a little acetone or laquer thinner and see how that goes..

Will post up pics when done..
