EMBLEM REMOVAL - For Clear Bra

I'v been doing this process for a while now....Instead of using my knife or another sharp object, I'v been using dental floss or fishing line....floss is cheaper...

I use my heatgun to heat up "around" the emblem....DONT heat the emblem...stay away from it... ... It might take 60 seconds to get the tape soft enough...Then with a sawing motion, working the floss under the emblem, I can release the tape from the paint with no damage.

damn good tip

Dental floss won't cut your hands like fishing line......plus fishing line likes to melt at all the wrong times.

Great tip...

Thanks SS and thank you, for teaching me how to post pictures....

No problemo my mang, anytime.............

I will be picking your brain on some ppf soon...

Nice tip been doing that for years.

anytime.

glad I could help


Nice tip, I used to take a coupla small 6 -7" wodden dowels, and wrap the fishing line around them, so you don't cut up you fingers

Wait... there's a reason to remove emblems other than hoping people will think an old BMW 318i is a brand new 760Li, just because there isn't an emblem present to prove otherwise?

Yea, I just removed the front emblem on this 2007 Corvette....cause the customer didnt want people thinking he was driving a new Corvette........

Thats why I try to stay away from fishing line..because it will cut.. or melt...but It's funny, If I dont have floss on me...someone always has fishing line....

I'm gonna try that... kinda how a person would cut clay... Next time I go to home desperate...Ill get some dowels...I'm thinkin more like 3-4 inchers....

Right on 237.....

Some people put a key ring on each end, like those wire saws.

That is also a good idea....But metal might scratch paint.... I dont want to risk it.

i think that is a great idea...i dont see it being that much of a problem if you are careful

Well, yea, Like I said...I think It's a good idea.....careful is careful, dude. But happens if you let it.

Whoa, tough crowd. So... I guess these are out of the question?




Could probably dip the key rings in Plasti-dip or one of those rubbery coatings people use for tool handles. I'd imagine there are probably even plastic rings out there that could be used, possibly at a craft store.

yeah...and you could drop the heat gun on the car too..but you take that chance..

No, I don't. I don't leave anything to chance....this is a tip.....use it for what you may....

got-ya

ok.........

You know mjs and tintgod......jerks...........

Brilliant one and that only took a month and a half to come up with. Somebody delete the 2 month old threads the responses mightt break the IQ threshold around here

dawwwwwww.......waaaaaaaaaaa......ok..........

Great tip and I thought I new everthing till now

i personally tie it too empty key rings so you can put your fingers in them no slipping that way

good luck with that.

I have found that the finger and the hand has a better feel for the touch and go.......

what the hell is that for...is that a little bump..

Why don't you use braided fishing line ??? That won't melt and it would sure as heck be tougher than floss..

thats a good idea.
