well, I just took the acura and the 3.0CL off, and of all else the paint is chiping all around them, so I have a pertfect ACURA and 3.0CL outline paint chips on my trunk, NO FREAKIN WAY,

 

Is it actual paint chip? What did you do to remove it? Dental floss to cut through the glue then 3M adhesive remover works like a charm.

 

its actual paint chips, vary smalls one just to outline it, I didnt know they were there till I cleaned all the glue off, its just really not cool

 

Re Bagde it

 

thats what Im most likely goin to do, that or when I get my door fixed from the dent, just have them fix that up too, I have a friend in tha painting busness, I might even just go ahead and get a full paint job,

 

That sucks i had an outline from them but not actually chipping Now my trunk is repainted so no more outline :0

 

Thats the first Ive heard of the outline. I dont think I will risk it now on my 97. I really want to do it, but shit like that would annoy the hell out of me until the spring when it gets all painted. Thanks for sharing that with us!!!

 

Oh my god! I thought i was the only one with this problem...6 months ago i debadged my rear and u can see a perfect white outline of ACURA and 2.2CL all lil scratch indentures or sumtin..I tried everything goo-gone, scratch remover, etc its permanent! I just left the outlines on there u can only see from up close i might want to paint it sometime

 

He had paint come off...not just a permanent stain. Anyways though, the ass looks alot better debadged. I didn't think it would make so much of a difference till I did it. No regrets.

 

Thats sucks man, sorry to hear that.

You had better get it done soon before it starts to rust.

 

Sorry that happened! I did my Red Cl and there is a slight outline but you have to get right on top of it to see it. I compounded and waxed after gue remover and no problem. I also heated the badges with a hair dryer which made the glue softer.

 

yup my 22cl came off with no trace of it but the acura there is a ghost and small rust spot. dont matter cuz im just gettin the trunk painted and the holes filled behind the "A"

 

I cant get the adhesive off! I tried a hair dryer and goo gone... the emblems are off but the adhesive doesnt come off! help!

 

Try some gasoline on a soft rag.

 

FISHLINE

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GONE

BYE BYE

 

It takes a little elbowe grease and even a little fingernail. Keep at it itle come off.

 

Does this happen due to paint not being factory origional possibly?

 

I dont think so, this is factory paint, I dont think its been repainted, I go to the check from the insureance company today from when they lady opened her door into my car so ill see how much i get and see about just payin the difference and gettin a paint job all around, same color, well, I might take a lil of the red out the paint and put some blue in there, give it a blue pearl finish
what do ya'll think?? how much would u think that would cost??
