hey,

the rear badge on my GTR is a little faded compared to a couple i got for free sitting here..

does anyone know of an easy way to remove the badge without damaging the paint ?

cheers

try using a hairdryer to help soften the old double sided tape. then use citrus based "goo remover" to clean off the residue

one strand out of a bicycle brake/gear cable tie to two bits of dowell/ wood/ stick /bolt and sort of saw it off it will cut through the glue easily and as your pulling outward on it it will not touch the paint but you will have a thin layer of glueish stuff left to pick off

use fishing line to remove and prepsol to clean

The hairdryer definitely works. Some cock stole the S from the back of mine and I decided to remove the 'KYLINE' off the boot. You'll have to hold the hairdryer on full heat at the badge for a while (roughly 5-6 mins), specially if its the original badge: They're usually glued pretty strong. And as previously BWRGTR stated, use a little bit of fishing line or dental floss to cut through the glue (after its heated very well) and remove the badge. Take care and be patient, we tried to take the original Nissan badge of a mates S15 too quickly and it came off with a layer of paint. The whole boot lid needs to be painted now. Good luck with it.
