Debadge color fade? 1 year old taco...

If I debadge my taco which is about 1 year old, will there be any fading? Car is garage kept with 5000 miles.

What would be the easiest way to debadge after 1 year...

 

No. Noticeable fading doesn't happen till much much later.

 

Just recently debadged my 2006 4runner, hardly noticeable. Have to look really hard in specific lighting to see it.

I have done it to almost every car I've owned, leave the car in the sun a little while pop them off with fishing line then goof off and paper towels to remove the leftover crap. I'm sure there are better or easier ways, but this has always worked for me.

 

Highly unlikey.

Same way as at year 0. Park it in the warm sun, use fishing line or dental floss to saw through the tape, use a paint friendly solvent to remove the glue residue.

 

Should come off just fine and there shouldn’t be any fading.

 

Mine was 1.5 yrs old with 20k on it, always parked outside. No fading here.

 

Likely will not have faded in such short time. Also, keep in mind "fading" appearance can also be from the dirt and particulate accumulation that builds on the clearcoat over the years, making the newly exposed, fresh clear coat that was hidden under the emblem look different -----when in fact the surrounding area just needs some paint correction work.

In your case - you're good to go. Yank em off

 

doubt it

 

You shouldn't have any issues mine was older when I pulled them off and had no issues if you do though you can usually buff the clear enough to match the rest of the paint.

 

Agreed with everyone. You won’t have any fading issues.

 

I used to have to do this about 40 years ago working at my Dad's shop, I used a hair dryer to get the glue heated up.

 

Woah man! Keep it PG.

 

Couldn't help it... looked that good.
