fuck, what a pain in the ass would alchohol fuck up the paint? cuz that should take off the glue easily...

 

goo gone or w/e its called works, i used a little acetone, and lots of elbow grease along with a clay bar.. then 3 coats of wax.

 

dont use a razor whatever u do..

thats how i fucked up my paint

(i know, it was pretty dumb, i thaught gillette would shave my shit)

 

1. Heat gun or blow dryer
2. Floss
3. Rubber razor blade
4. Wax

 

a hot day helps 2

 

just got done...just over an hour...finally went and got some goo off..shit is awwwwwsome! then waxed it

 

nice, it takes alittle time, but is well worth the effort to see that nice ass

 

word up...to anyone that dedadges get goo off!!!!!!!!!

 

I debaged mine to day & I couldnt get some of the sticky shit off some tomorrow Im get some stuff from a mechanic to take the rest of it off. Its like carb cleaner but its stronger & takes it right off. He said that he uses it all the time on other cars & it works fine is there any reason that it would mess my paint up ?

 

get goo off, carb cleaner will eat the paint, you can get goo off at any hardware store for less than 3 bucks...
best luck

 

you took the "shaving" literally, didn't you? hehe

 

 

dang

my debadging took 5 mins

took a plastic card, cut thru the adhesive stuff

then i kinda just rubbed off the glue...didn't damage nothin

can't even notice it was there

 

I used a plastic car to but the adhesive isnt comin off so easy. Ive got most of it off it just to where you can still see where it says 2.3 Cl & a little on the acura

 

im bout to debadge mine!!!

 

doing mine tomorrow, got the goo gone already here

 

im thinking about debaging mine but what about the " A " doesnt it have screwes which would leave holes? ( i have a 97 3.0 if it matters )

 

yeah, I'm pretty sure the Acura symbol is screwed/bolted on there. Most people just leave that since it's too much trouble to remove anyways, and you could have to plug up the holes then repaint it. It looks pimp with only that anyways. good luck.

 

yea

there are 2 plastic pin things that go into the trunk...

you can shave them down and re-paint...but that costs $$, and it doesn't look bad with the A leftover

 

i did mine a few days ago and i have the phatom outline of ACURA and 3.0CL on the trunk. what should i do to take that out?

 

If its glue just rub it with a towel, if its faded paint, well then, you're fucked.

 

Did you make sure to wash and wax your car afterward? At least wax teh part where you removed those, adn it SHOULD go away 99%. You'll still be able to see a tiny outline from certain angle, but only if you're looking for it.

 

Goo gone is terrible about removing wax. Just wash and wax and you should be ok. We did it to my boys black mercedes the other day and he thought i ruined it. I did too at first, i was shocked how black paint looked after it was goo goned. Washed and waxed and it was beautiful

 

I had the worst time trying to debadge my car. Apparently the "Acura" badge was only being held by the two A's and the rest of the glue was exposed to the elements for god knows how long. Now that I removed the glue, a faint outline exists. I need to go to a body shop and have them wet sand that shit out.

 

 

I'm thinking about ripping the 'A' badge off the back of my '97 and replacing it with an 'H' to make my car look JDM. Except I don't think the front badge is removable, so it'll be some weird J/USDM hybrid or soemthing. What do you all think??

 

bad idea. IMO it would be pointless. that is the epitome of ricer. trying to make your car look like something it's not.

 

also wd-40 works. atleast it works for bumper stickers on paint. spray it on and let it sit like 5 min.
