De-badging SRi

[Anonymous]

Does anybody know a good way of removing the metal badging on the tailgate? A couple of my mates have managed to take paintwork with them by just pulling it off.

I took the crappy badges of the tailgate on my SRI a few weeks ago. Get a hairdrier and heat the badge for a while and then gently peel it off while still heating it. This will probably leave a bit of adhiesive on the paintwork so repeat the heating process and rub this off with your finger.If it's really stubborn (mine wasnt) then get some autoglym tar/glue remover. Then get some autoglym paint restorer and give the whole area several coats and buff it off well, and repeat this until the area where the badges was is no longer visible. Polish the whole area and job done!
It took me about twenty minutes from start to finish and you can't see a different shade of paintwork at all.
