Thinking of debadge today

If I can get around to it this weekend I plan to debadge. I've been debating to paint the Tacoma on the tail black like MZ TAZCOMA, looks good so I might do that .

 

For the badges I used 6# fishing line and wd40. For the stickers, I peeled up an edge with my fingernail and grabbed the small peice with some needle nose pliers and slowly pulled. Most of it came. There were some peices that I couldn't even get an edge up with my fingernail so I took a single edge razor blade, laid the entire blade flat against the truck (almost parallel with the sticker) and gently pushed on the sticker edge with the sharp edge to lift another flap. You can clean up the residue with wd40 or goo-gone.

 

well finally found some time yesterday to debadge my truck and after i did my buddy came over and we ended up debadging his scion tc

 

I used two pieces of PVC pipe and cut a notch in the center to keep the line in place. It was hot as hell in Florida a few months ago, I didn't have to heat them up. I used mineral spirits to clean the glue off and compounded the area, then waxed. I even peeled off the TRD stickers. Love the clean look. Just got to work on the grill emblem now.

I also plan on debadging mine when I get my truck back tomorrow. Going to paint them black. I'll probably do that this weekend. Anyone have any good ideas on how to rebadge them using double sided sticky tape?

 

i did mine the other day and it was really cold, i took the heaviest fishing line i could find and wedged it in there and went at it. some of the glue stuck on the truck and i took a heat gun and did about 10 secs on each letter no big deal had mine done is about 20 mins
