ok i got an 04 2500 and i want to take the badges off, no big deal goo gone and credit card and some elbow greese right? now what about putting them back on?!?! you guys think i should outline the letters maybe with pencil? and putting them back on with what? rtv? or 3M double stick tape? lemme hear some suggestions or if you guys think this is a good idea? im gonna paint the badges if you were woundering..thanks

 

Use fishing line and a pinstripe eraser and you'll get it done 10x faster without having to use any elbow grease.
I've never put them back on, but I'd outline in crayon (that's how I marked the hood when I did my cab lights & the crayon wax will wipe or buff right off) and use the 3M Tape.

 

Here's how you do it-

i damn near fell off my chair...

 

use 3M tape, that's what I did when I put the badges back on and I had no problems since

 

Yeah, just make a box around the outer edges, that way no possibility of crayon rubbing off on accident.
I would scrape the backside of the emblems with a razorblade, the kind you scrape your windshield with. I wouldn't use chemicals because they will eat away the plastic. Also, get a darker colored or clear 3m brand double sided tape. Don't use the yellow or tan or light grey as it will be very noticeable. They make theis clear stuff that is very thin. I used it and the badges were so close to the paint, you couldn't even see it. Most tape is failry bulky as far as thickness. I wouldn't use RTV sealant as it can be very messy and problematic.


Ohh, that video was friggin hilarious. That same guy made another video on how to install the top cab lights. Same hilarious comedic presentation

 

I'm thinking he might be from the South, lol!

 

i takes alot of elbow grease. took a few hours to do the 2 doors and the tailgate. i used a heatgun. fishing line and a credit card. i didnt salvage my emblems i didnt care if i ruined mine.
after watching that video i wish i had the eraser wheel. that is where the time is spend getting the residue off.

 

Seems like a crazy cracker to me!

 

I'm telling you guys -- INVEST THE LOUSY $10-12 IN A PINSTRIPE REMOVER and you will be able to debadge an entire truck in minutes, without breaking a sweat!!!
