How to debadge?

moby4dick · 12-24-2006, 01:40 PM

Hi All,

Happy holidays! I am doing some cosmetic/performance upgrading, and debadging is part of it.

I recall that you use a heatgun to take off the letters. Any tips on how to not have problems with ruining the finish, or is that not a problem?

TNX!

WRXGON et al...

And isn't this why NASIOC is just the best? Where else can you get a link to a video on a how to for EXACTLY what you need? Thanks everyone...

Moderators...this has made me think that it would be awesome to have a searchable video link area. Sometimes seeing how to do something is a whole lot easier than reading about it, even with pics.

Glad to help and your car will look clean w/o those badges
