De-Badging......

[smithy87]

Whats the best way to go about it yourself?

Would you treat it the same as any other spray job after peeling the badges off? e.g, masking, rubbing down, priming, spraying, laquering?

Would this method rid me of the faint light rust line that appears round badges of the older model too?

Cheers.

Why do you wanna spray.
Just warm the badges up with a hair dryer, peel them off, any glue and crap left over just use some t-cut or Autoglym tar remover and it will get rid of the glue.
You should beable to get the paint to match with a bit of t-cut.
I took mine of my mk3 astra and it matched perfectly.
