Debadging my V

[my_new_v]

Im debadging my V this weekend. Anyone got any tips or advice?

Thanks in advance guys!

There is another thread out there about how to do it, but as I was told when I asked about a month ago............Dental Floss.

take your time and be prepared to have sore finger tips

I recommend UnDu (which would allow you to re-use your badges if you wanted and were careful)

I had technical difficulties with dental floss. (I'm apparently not compatible with using that stuff outside of my mouth)

I had no problem using the scraper that comes with the UnDu, but someone else on here dented their car by using it... Take your time.

Where would I find the UnDu thing?

Uh oh X( lol

[KimberKenobi]

Usually in the scrapbook section... It can be a beach to find, but it slicks the adhesive so works faster (and more efficiently IMHO) than goo gone.

[blindsnyper]

if you go with UnDu DO NOT use the tool attached to the bottle, i did and i now have a couple small dents

[my_new_v]

I couldnt find the UnDu so I used Goo Gone and a razor. Came out nicely I think. Heres the before and after pics.

[CodeRed]

A Razor!?!??!?!

[my_new_v]

lol yeah, worked nice to get that sticky crap off...but no worries, i didnt scratch the paint at all

[jfanaselle]

gheesh... scary man. Should have used a plastic scraper or something. But hey, no harm no foul I guess.

Let me ask you... with the emblems off, do you think they could be easilly painted or smoked out and re-mounted? I was thinking of darkening mine up a little, but I don't know if it'll be easy to re-install or if I should just buy new ones from the dealership.

[bulld0g]

step away from the razor......looks good ....

[RitzburyGD3]

haha, i still gotta decide if i'm still too lazy to paint my badges. gotta take time to re-mount them perfectly and shi... stuff. when you taking me to the bar?!?! haha

They can be re-installed if you can get the sticky stuff thats left on the lettering, but i tried that and it was hard lol and I couldnt find any kind of scraper so I had to settle with the razor

Thank you the razor was my last resort

When we're both not working haha

Hey, I remounted the set on my first Camel... Used Elmer's craft spray and the dealer couldn't remove them... Somewhere my first Camel is still driving around with the word "VERSA" under the handle... muah hahahahaha!!

Or buy 3M automotive double-sided tape. It comes in 1/4" but is a little hard to find... the last time i needed it, it had a red backing.

Kimber - I know its off topic, but I just noticed you added the quote to your sig about that lane departure feature. I was waiting for someone to say something about that... when I read it, I couldn't stop laughing! I seriously copied that word for word from the survey.

Although, I guess if you think about it, sometimes merging into an object next to you is better than hitting something stopped in front of you. Maybe thats what they're trying to say?!?

[KimberKenobi]

or maybe they just worded it REALLY badly... I'm sorry... I'm against DRLs... why would I want my car to break for me?? I almost snarfed when I read that line... I had to add it!!

Yes, I would rather sideswipe someone than crash into someone else's bum... especially if there's an unsecured child in the back seat (unfortunately common around here...)

[Johniboi]

is it me....or do i see a little extra of the "goo" left on where the nissan emblem was at?..

[blindsnyper]

is it me....or do i see a little extra of the "goo" left on where the nissan emblem was at?..

nope i saw it also.

[my_new_v]

Nah thats just some fur or lint from the towel i used to dry it after i washed all the goo off...i saw that too once i took the pic lol

[tyler_ofspain]

Just use a heat gun and get them nice and hot and they fall right off... when i did it there was no residue left on the car

[my_new_v]

Haha nice!

Wont affect the paint at all?

[Soravia]

That car has a grinning face at the front and a smiling face in the back.Pretty ugly either way.

[tyler_ofspain]

Haha nice!

nope by the time it would hurt the paint the adhesive is long gone

[bucksnort]

I twisted one of the VERSA letters and it almost twisted off easily and it was around 30 degrees out. I'll use the Goo-Gone and a plastic scraper. I don't have the S to deal with. Leaving the lettering on looks like a pain to wax around.

s

[my_new_v]

I dont reccoment goo gone, it gives off a wierd smell lol

And if it sits on the car too long, it kinda seems like it start to eat into the clear coat slowly so careful.

Thanks for the comment

If you dont like the Versa's then dont leave comments like that...disrespectful

[tyler_ofspain]

[kcourtad]

i used floss, hair drier, finger tips, bug & tar remover and a wax job to remove mine

[tyler_ofspain]

haha ya i work at an audio shop so we kinda just have all this stuff hangin around

[Skim302]

I used denatured alcohol to remove mine. It was scary because i thought it would remove the paint but it worked awesome. I use it to get tree sap off of my car too.
