#1: De-badging problem.. Author: brimbo, Location: South ShieldsPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 6:40 am ---- I was giving the pug a wash down with the weather being good, and decided to take of the '206' tag on the back, it peeled of mostly, but it left a different shade of paint behind it..
And closer up..
Thats not a smudge next to the '2', just strange reflections
Should I just stick the '206' tag back on? Or is there something I can do about it ?

#4: Re: De-badging problem.. Author: brimbo, Location: South ShieldsPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 6:47 am ---- I'll t-cut at it in a bit, hoping it will come out as I thought this was a nifty mod

#6: Re: De-badging problem.. Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 6:50 am ---- T-cut should work. Mine looked worse than this but after t-cut no marks at all. good luck

Author: brimbo, Location: South ShieldsPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:14 am ---- Just went out armed with a rubber, its definatly paint, I can feel the surface difference when i rub my fingers over it, The boot was re-sprayed around Feb, im assuming the bloke bodged up masking over the tag's, and didnt remove them

#11: Re: De-badging problem.. Author: brimbo, Location: South ShieldsPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:41 am ---- Stuck it back on, T-cutted the hell out of it with no success, I think the section would need spraying over to bring the paint flush
#12: Re: De-badging problem.. Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:08 am ---- just keep an eye out on ebay for a cheap tailgate, can play around with it then and still have the original spare, dewiper and debadge it if you do that
