started debadge

i started the debadge on my truck tonight. only got the pass side done right now. also removed the trd sticker and pulled my yota emblem off the front and painted it black. i know this thread is useless without pics but i will get some when i get it finished. got to cold out in the garage! but i will also be tinting my front windows, tails, and third brake light while im at it.

 

That'll look great, get some pics up as soon as possible

 

i think i might just leave her naked but im not sure yet

 

I took off all of the stickers and plastic, TRD included, as it keeps getting torn up.

I think it looks better.

and painted my emblem black

 

the tailgate wasnt as bad as the emblems on the driver and pass doors. still got a little bit of stuff to get off the drivers side. it pulled some of the paint from the driver door also.

 

Looks good.

 

thanks man

 

Did you have any issues with the paint fade or the outline of the badge showing after you removed the badges? I have a '98 and that is the only thing holding me back from stripping her... I think if I buff the shit out of it after it would be ok..idk

 

yeah you can tell a difference from where the emblems were at and the rest of the paint. im gonna try and give it a good wax job when i have time and if that dont work then im gonna get her buffed and see if that changes.

 

i just got done debaging my 07...and there is still a tiny bit of residue i just can't get off!! ive used goo gone, a scrubbing brush, a cloth, paper towls, windex...and it is STILLL there....what did you use/do cause im having a helluva time trying to get it all off

 

i used some finger nail polish remover and poured some in a bowl and then put the same amount of water and it worked just fine. i also used some rubbing alcohol and seemed to work half wat decent on the small stuff.

 

yeah i used a hair dryer and heated them up really well before i started pulling them off and some of mine still got jacked up.

 

truck looks good man. i debadged mine back in august, when it was still warm out.

 

so if I decide I want to just black them out, would I take them off paint them, then epoxy the bastards back on? and if so how are you guys marking them? Sorry, not trying to jack your thread... just curious.

 

yeah same here curious how to black out badges????

 

i have a 99 and i debadged and have this problem still trying to figure out how to get rid of it.
