My CLS is Taffetta white. I want to debadge the eblems but worried that the white paint underneath will be alot whiter? any thoughts?

 

it shouldn't try it and if it is then paste them back on

 

You should be fine, just use goo gone once the emblems are off to remove any of the excess glue. Then wash the area and use a clay bar to remove any imperfections, then seal it all with your favorite wax. If there is a problem with discoloration, simply replace the emblems.

 

Of the three white cars I have debadges only one really had any color difference that stayed, but it was 91 caprice. My half bro's 95 Chystler had a slight color difference, but it faded out after about a week in the sun, and you can not see it at all now. My friend 99 maxima had no color issue at.

just take it slow and if worst comes to worst, you can just put them back on ^^ as said above.

 

You should be fine. I would take off the ones in the top corner first and see if there is a difference.

 

thanks for the help...whats the best way to do this? ive heard just a hair dryer and some dental floss?? what do you think???

 

Either dental floss or fishing line works wells. I didn't use a heat gun or a blow drier and they came off pretty easily in ~60deg. weather.

 

Acura uses good paint so it wont fade away unless its super old.

 

I think general consensus says Acura uses crappy paint though?

Anyway, when I first debadged I could still clearly see A C U R A on the back, but I gave it about a month and it faded away. I can't tell where the letters used to be to this day.

 

Thats why i did mines before a paint job..

 

CL's are known for their bad paint and it chips like crazy

debadging hasn't been a problem for most people though. I think if its any color that would be least affected by fading it would be TW or like SSM or something

 

have you seen almost all acura integras before 1997 worst paint ever

 

Thanks for the help!!! I debadged my cls yesterday....a little rubbing compund, my favorite wax and you cant even tell....I left the large A and the type s emblem...looks clean...pics on the way...thanks for the help

 

I didn't know if I should start a new post for this but I was wondering if you would be able to tell the color difference on a dark blue cl or would it be the same as if I just did the same advice? Thanks

 

possibly. what do you have, an '03 CL-pee?
I can't tell if its ABP or EBP from your avatar, but my advice would be that if you do decide to debadge, start off small, maybe taking off the 3.2CL just to see first if it faded, then move on from there

yeah that
