so i removing my bagdes to paint them black...

and yes i have searched everyother debadging thread...


i have all the glue off the front logo and the sucker will not come out do you know if the posts have notches on the end of them or what cause i dont want to force it but it seems like it wont come out no mattfer how hard i try

 

they have little studs that go in the bumper and you have to pull em out it shouldnt be hard BUT i did a friends and his glue was in there too so it made it difficult

 

thanks ill try now just really dont want to break them

 

try one side at a time really slowly kinda wiggle at em to get em loose or use a heat gut to melt the glue then pul em out

 

do anyone knows what kinda glue mazda used on those badges??

 

3M Double back tape works fine for putting them back on.

 

either that or 3m trim glue availible at walmart

 

ill put pics up tmmr and use the 3m tape instead of the glue i used

 

k cool

 

You can use dental floss to pull them up a bit, help get through the glue.

 

when i tried it, i broke the emblem in 4 peices
was a complete bitch to remove!

 

 

hey now, its not like i needed it!

 

heres a teaser pic... ill put up some tomorrow if its not shitty out

 

wtg

 

wow, that does not look half bad
makes me want to put on matte black badges on.... but still prefer the clean look

 

my uncle owns a body shop when i get some cash i think if i gave him a 12 pack and like 40 bucks hed bondo and paint it for me so i may just go completely de-badge but this is defiantly a good x

 

Looks good on Silver.

 

that looks pretty good on the silver

 

thanks guys here some more i snapped today while bored












im re painting the rear mazda emblems and removing rx-8 just need to find some time

 

IMO leave em all on there just pain em all black to match i like that look better great job btw

 

thanks... i broke all the pegs off the front emblem lol... fail

but yeah i just didnt have time that day to do the mazda(word) and the Rx-8 but i plan on do them next time its sunny and im not working in the god foresaken hell hole

 

No offense but Zell you fail at pictures.

 

im well aware and it kinda sucks with having a car thats so pretty and not having skills to toake good pics of it

 

Prerequisite to posting pics would be having a photography degree and an SLR and $$$ of software.

Car looks clean.
