#1: de badging Author: Lee180, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 8:34 am ---- silly question i know, iv already de-badged a 206 before, using nail varnish and a evaporating solvent cleaning spray i found at work. the finished result looked good, but that was on a gun metal gray 206, i was just wondering what people used on a blue 180 ? just before i go and rub nail varnish all over the boot

im sure stucky stuff remover is safe to use on it and iv heard people say it works a treat
and you could just leave the 180 badge on i did this with mine at first then decided it was better to let people ponder what model i have
#9: Re: de badging Author: Lee180, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 8:50 am ---- yeah, i might go completely nude badge wise.
#10: Re: de badging Author: bertt, Location: chesterPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:04 am ---- I wouldnt leave the 180 badge on its own would look daft I used sopay water and a hiardryer with some elbow grease to remove all of mine

Get it warm enough and te dental floss will cleanly remove all of the sticky foam without leaving it on the paintwork.

Thts what i used when i took the black plastic off between the drivers window and the rear window and all the glue was left there. Worked a treat and took it off really easy. Just wash it off after
#13: Re: de badging Author: Kersh, Location: Bridgnorth, Nr WolverhamptonPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:50 am ---- Do whatever you think will work, i even scrubbed the sticky stuff off once, realised id put loads of fine scratches in and T-cutted it out, you wont do any damage that cant be polished out with a bit of elbow grease.
but now i look back, heat does seem like the easy way out
#14: Re: de badging Author: Lee180, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 11:17 am ---- Finished now, decided to leave the 180 badge on for now ( because it was getting dark ). possible take it off later but i dont think it looks to out of place there by itself. just used hair dryer, debit card ( which is now f****d ) and some nail varnish remover. worked a treat. thanks for the suggestions anyway

In my experience of paint, nail varnish remover is excellent stuff....for removing paint, I hope you washed it off thoroughly, otherwise you'll wake up tomorrow to some "lack-of-paint-of-car-idness"
