Fishing line, cut the double side tape with fishing line clean whats left with solvent. Test solvent under boot lid to test if ok to use before you use on exterior paint.

so will that get the badge off as well or just the strips because the normal badges were easy

[PanthaVS]

that was for the badges. use fishing line like a cheese cutter (remember cutting clay from the slab back in primary school with wire?)

to remove the trim, (I assume you mean the pinstripe trim along the doors?) you may be able to use the same method? i havent done that, so i can't help, i like my trims! :P

ok i did my equipe badges not too long ago, came up great.

fishing line doesnt work on the equipe badges.
get a blow dryer, heat up the badge (bout 30 seconds) then peel the badge off with ur fingers.
u then will have all the glue that goes with it. use Eucalyptus oil to remove this.
looks factory

thanks holden thats wat i thought but i didnt want to try until someone else said the same thing the wife would kill me for sure if i stuffed her paint

[holden-4-life]

haha yeah i was scared to do mine too.

it takes awhile to get all the bits of glue off but. set a side bout 20-30 minutes a badge.
well thats how long it took me coz i was being realllly careful.

How To Remove Black Bumper Strips**UPDATED**use this one

My dad and I removed the badges of my Holden Commodore Executive Series II (makes me wish I bought a car with less letters and stickers on the back...) .

The 'Executive' and 'Series II' badges came off great, 'Commodore' we have managed to take off some paint, so I have to go get some touch up paint, and the 'Holden' seems to either have scratches or some glue left there, we really can't tell what it is because it doesnt feel like either, look s abit dodgey in some lighting.

Any idea how to fix up the 'Holden' side?

Ow also we used floss instead of fishing line...no one goes fishing in our family lol

I have heard of using this method to remove badges...
but i wouldnt mind removing the crappy looking things on the front door of this VS SII acclaim that i am looking at buying...
has NE one done it before?? coz they look like shit!! :P
cheers

BTW.. by crappy looking things on the side of the door... i meant the reflectors...!!

if you use the blow gun be careful not to burn the paint. i de badge cars everyday what works best is getting those strap things people put around boxes made of plastic and slide it under the badge then using something like prepsol on the glue to get that off

[green5.7]

the black stuff maybe urethane thats what some panel shops use when they run out of double sided tape, to get that off the easy way is to use a rubber wheel on the end of a drill, you can buy these for around 20 bucks at your local auto paints store.

using this i can usuall debage most cars under 5 mins with all glue removed, very handy tool

[samvn87]

rubber wheel think ur meaning a caramel wheel ay thatd work
