lol $50 is so cheap especially from holden man they gonna get one of the sales guys to do it as a mechanic gets payed more then that per hour and its a more then hr job, ive taken a sticker off a mirage never done badges as have been happy to drive a car with the exec badges on it unless u got a hsv kit then yeah rip those suckers off

I did mine recently.. And they way i did them.. there is NO chance for anything to go wrong.

All you need is some OOMPH Glue remover (Bunnings).. and some dental floss.

Spray the badge, and leave it for a few minutes.... Then gently saw off using the floss.

Then spray the left over gunk with the OOMPH, leave for a few moments, and then you can gently roll it off.

Just try it yourself, there is no way you can muck it up : )

Good Luck!!

If you take it to a panel shop I reckon they would charge you 150 bucks and get their 1st year to do it.. they pay him 8 bucks an hour and make a profit off your arse of 142 bucks.

i just want someone prifessionals to do it not me coz i know i will fu ck it up thats y im seeing if there is a place that can do it i ask holden they say they will do it for me for $50 but im not spending that sort of money for doing it is there any place would do it for me cheaper


thanx

my apologies for posting the thread link if you aren't confident. i haven't done it myself but it appears to be quite straightforward. other ways to do it include using a hairdryer to soften the glue, old credit/bank/library card instead of fishing line...
as the others have said, if you really want it done by a pro, either be willing to fork out large amounts of money for something that potentially blind freddy could do a better job at, or find a member closer to you and ask them.

well then bite the bullet and get holden to do it for $50, $50 aint much for what u getting done, and if they strip the paint off they have touch up paint there.

otherwise pay the money as i could garentee a panel shop will charge u more

Since when was $50 unreasonable for a job like this? Do Centrelink payments not leave much after your cartons of smokes and grog? Might be time to ration.

Eucalyptus oil didn't stuff my paint. Infact it worked perfectly.

Did you heat it up first or just try and rip it off?
