I have a 06 megacab and I would like to remove the emblems (2500, megacab, heavy duty, cummins)from the sides and tailgate.
Does anybody have a idea on how to do this with no damage to the paint? Also are any of them pinned on or do they use epoxy on all of them?


Thanks

Mark

 

On my '04, I used fishing line to cut them off (cutting the sticky foam backing), then I used bug and tar remover to get the rest off. Pretty simple process.

As for the 06 having pins or epoxy, I'm not sure...

 

That is exactly what I was going to suggest. It is probably the safest way of doing it.

 

I havent tested it but one of my friends pealed the letters off and used lighter fluid to get the sticky back off i dont know how it works though.

 

im with the first two,

some type of high tensile string / fishing line
GooGone or similar gunk removal product.
Patience
RazorBlade (lubed) for some chunks you miss.

 

A small plastic scraper/razor would probably be the best bet

 

yeah, i suppose, a little more safer to some.

 

use a head gun and slowly peel back on the emblem wash your car before doing this. most of the adheasive backing should come off with the emblem if not heat it up with the heat gun and use a soft cotton glove to roll the rest off wax area when cool after

 

i used fishing line (20lb test) to remove my emblems. for the '06 all emblems are mounted with an adhesive.

 

so you know, wd40 will probably work better than bug and tar remover. atleast i have found it to work better. and fyi, wd40 will NOT harm your paint. the wd stands for water displacement, and 40 was because it was the 40th formula that they decided to use. it is actually safe on a lot of things. google wd40 uses, there are thousands
