De-badge

Hey guys! I roll an '07 Sierra NBS. What is the best way to de-badge the pickup? I would like to get rid of the door protectors first and foremost. Then perhaps some of the emblems. What do you recommend? Heat gun? Fishing line? Big hammer?!

Re: De-badge

I dont normally post here but I saw the thread on the main page. I use a plastic cooking spatula. I have tried fishing line and disposable plastic scrapers, but the spatula works great. A 3-M urethane eraser wheel on a drill gets rid of the rest of the glue.

Re: De-badge

Do you use heat to loosen the glue underneath with the spatula or just take to it without? Also where can you get a 3M eraser wheel at?

No heat. Just start at a corner and work the edge of the spatula between the adhesive and the back of the emblem. I get my eraser wheels at a body shop supply store.

Re: De-badge

That's pretty sharp. Thanks for the pics!!

Goo-Gone is awesome stuff. I used a heat gun to get my Z71 stickers off, then used Goo-Gone to get the glue that didn't come off with the heat gun. Worked like a charm.
