Title: Badges
Post by: Kieran on 01 March 2011, 22:09:38
I have purchased some new badges for my Senny and was wondering what is the best way of removing old ones without damaging the paintwork.
Ideas please. :y

Bit of heat and some dental floss to cut the glue ;) ;)

Then plenty of elbow grease to clean it all up before reapplying the new ones :y :y

Thanks

Good idea with the dental floss. :y
Would T cut be appropiate for cleaning up the area sufficent enough for the new badges to stick on.

Would have thought it was Ideal :y

Personally, I'd then give the area a good few coats of polish and wax too :y :y

Boil the kettle, pour over the badge, pull the badge off, squirt WD40 or, apply the tiniest amount of thinners to the glue, then wash & wax the paint  :y

Tar and glue remover to remove the sticky residue.  Or panel wipe - NOT thinners!! - to soften...

Lighter fluid works well just dont smoke.  Then clean area with panel wipe or a tack cloth before you apply the new badge. . Just my opinion
