How long did you wait to debadge your truck?

I think i got yall beat! My truck is an 05 and i bought it a couple months ago. 217k miles. i debadged and there is zero fading. used a little wax to clean the gunk that built up around the adhesive and there is no evidence they were there.

Rip them puppies off!

 

Four days later.... I had to drive the 1200 miles back home first. That's what I get for buying a new truck on vacation.

 

I went to the sporting goods store and got the fishing line this AM...

Thinking just the tailgate for now, completely. Leaving the TRD and side "Tacoma"'s

 

Bought my White 07 3 weeks ago and took the badging off as soon I drove it home.

7 years in the Arizona sun and now ghosting or paint fade - left it parked in the sun for about an hour and used needle nose pliers to pull them right off. It was 118F on that Saturday . . .

 

Purchased my 08 Indigo Ink 3 months ago and debadged it about 2 weeks ago. TRD OR sticker outlines are barely visible on the bed. Now the badges from the tailgate and the door on the other hand are pretty bad. Def going to require some rubbing compound and possibly a little wet sanding. Feels like the badges had actually sunk into the clear coat a little bit.

 

2 years and 3 months so far.

 

My truck is an 09. I de-badged it this year with no problems in color difference. I buffed the paint after removing the adhesive.

 

At the dealership after signing 1000 signatures, and right in front of the sale man!

 

A few hours

 

What color paint ? Anyone have b red who waited a few years to debadge ?

 

The day after I bought it.

 

what do you mean? wait? i saw truck unloaded of the 18-wheeler, they washed it, filled, cleaned it, and removed badges! it was black and shiny and new as can possibly be when i pulled out the parking lot
