removing emblemssweetwhiteCAV 07-05-2003, 02:44 AM Ive been wanting to remove the bowtie emblems on the hood and trunk. Ive heard about using fishing line, but i dont know if thats the proper way to go about it. I want to switch the bowties with Super Street Emblems, how would i go about putting these emblems on(i.e. what type of glue). p.s. im assuming the emblems are mearly glued on. krebs128 07-05-2003, 10:24 PM clean off the area around the emblem really good, then dry of course. then, w/ a blow dryer, heat the emblem and area, (!but not too much b/c u could mess up the paint job!). then w/ the fishline, slowly slide it under the emblem removing it. then w/ a dry towel, wipe away any tape/glue left over. clean it off w/ water it u wanna...etc. now for putting another emblem on, in my experience, there is tape on the back of it, so just peel and stick where u want it. if you're gonna use gllue, go to an auto store and get some for CARS, not just any glue. sweetwhiteCAV 07-06-2003, 12:49 AM sweet thanks alot chevyfreak 07-06-2003, 01:04 AM Hey sweetwhiteCAV i am interested to see how it looks with the super street emblems. So once you get them on i would greatly appreciate it if you would post some pics on here or email me at vcbadass@yahoo.com thanks man-:bigthumb: ChevBoyZ22 07-08-2003, 11:15 AM I removed my chev emblems with a heat gun and i thought the glue would come off easy. didnt happen. the glue is still there and i dont want to try to much b/c the car was just painted, spray 9 didnt work and i dont know what else to try.heating it again didnt work. Help!..its driving me nuts Autoflow 07-08-2003, 11:55 AM with my car i used a damp soft cloth soaked in gas. it did the trick beautifully and didnt effect my paint at all. You could also try that goo gone stuff if you want but i dont know what that does to paint. ChevBoyZ22 07-08-2003, 07:04 PM Thanx, anything like that on my car really pisses me off. sweetwhiteCAV 07-09-2003, 11:20 AM eeergh! Auto Zone was out of blue super street emblems, so I have to wait a couple days for them to get em for me. But I'll definetly post a pic when i get em on there. chevyfreak 07-09-2003, 03:24 PM alright great i cant wait to see it! TheSkoolBus 07-13-2003, 10:45 PM on my old pontiac grand prix (before i t-boned a van and totaled it.. dont worry it was her fault...i used the money from it to buy my 96 z24) i used a heat gun and then took it off with fishing line. there was still some glue left on there because i couldnt get the fishing line flush up against the car to take it all off with the emblems so i used goof-off and it took it right off without doing anything to the paint. i had an old piece of shit car though that didnt have a good paint job so you might wanna check up on the goof off before you use it... it might of just been a fluke that it did nothing to my paint vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
