Wheel Centercap Question

I'm thinking about trying out this plasti-dip stuff everyone raves about here on the center of my wheel caps. I'd like to remove the Toyota emblem but the tabs securing it are melted on the back. Has anyone figured out a good way of resecuring this thing after removal? I figured to remove it i'd have to grind the melt points off... anyone know of there's a plastic product that can be melted and formed into a specific shape that would adhere to the the ground off tabs?

 

JB weld

 

^ That's a thought. Think it would adhere better to plastic than a traditional two part epoxy?

 

Yeah, Ive found that JB weld is far superior than epoxy, which may not hold under wet conditions..... JB holds once it's dry...

 

This one came off because one of the plastic lips that hold the wiring was broken. I couldn't get the rest of them off. I tried to do just the emblem and I had too many issues and gave up and just did it this way. I still have to dip the other three.

 

I did my trd sport center caps like that. They came off super easy, just had little clips on the backside.

The 1st gen Tundra wheels are different and had some adhesive/melted looking junk holding the Toyota logo on, this ones I used needle nose pliers to scrape off that crap then pushed the emblems off from the back.

 

you can also get the FJ centercaps in black. They snap right in and have red TRD logo on them. No probs. with mine yet.

 

I know this thread is a couple months old, but I removed my emblems with a soldering iron. Each emblem has three tabs that insert through holes on the cap, then were melted and "flared". I simply melted the plastic enough to reshape the legs of the emblems so the tips fit back through the holes. I then scuffed and primed each cap with plastic primer, then shot 3 coats of Duplicolor rim paint and 3 coats of clearcoat.

Once the clear dried, I reinserted the emblems (make sure you line the holes up in their original holes, otherwise they won't be centered properly) and melted the tabs back in place. It was almost like welding the plastic.
