Badge removal gone wrong ... Advise please

[Dan@M.A.D]

Iv'e always used a bit of fishing wire, Heated up the badge first with a hair-dryer to soften the glue then it usually comes off easy.

I just heated my badges up, and pulled them off.

It works anyway and is always a handy use of the car club ownership cards does require alot of hot water tho lol

Well think il give the string way a go when I do my Renault and sport badge I've always been a bit wary of heating up with hair dryer tho incase I damage the paint

Should be okay, I wouldn't have thought it would damage it.

To paint that properly you won't see much change out of £200.

That's surprising tbh. My spray man must be mega cheap...

 

[STEVOM]

Thanks guys... I'm in n.ireland so postage on the boot lid on eBay might be higher. Might give them a buzz tomorrow!
how it looks today after a quick clean!!! Steve

It's a shame that all for a badge the best part of £300 just unlucky mate

I'd pm Ady @ N2grafix see if he could knock you up a decent Renaultsport sticker.

Was thinking that myself I got one complete side done for that money and getting the bonnet and front bumper done for £100

^ A bonnet and front bumper for £100?!

Even at cash prices that's mega mega cheap.

Helps when your next door neighbour is a painter and has his own spray booth tho

 

[Ralphizzle]

Holy crap... so much for double sided tape. I am guessing previous owner superglued it on!?

So what are you looking at now; spot repair or full respray. Color is metallic... right.

 

[sam_clio182]

RB isn't metallic dude

My local guy is spot on with me. I've taken 5 spoilers to be sprayed with him (1 dynamique, 3 1*2 Cup Spoilers and a 200 Cup Spoiler). Charged me £30 for each one and did a great job on each one.

Touch pen and some polish..

 

[Adam G]

That needs a bleedin big pen

Amazes me how cheap some people will do it for, I wouldn't get out of bed to paint a spoiler for £30.

What a gutter!!

Your paint shop must love you!!

My local painted the front bumper after some one scuffed the drivers side, re laquered over the cf foglight covers, covered the little tiny bits of plastic in the lip of the front bumper both sides, then took the dent out the rear bumper and a full respray on both parts for £210.

There is not a mark, spot or bubble any where. Its spotless!

 

[JCC]

^ That's cheap though. Daniel's estimate is about right for my place, the places you're all quoting are doing it for buttons, so they're either cutting corners somewhere or making pennies in profit every job they do.

 

[john182rs]

type into google 'body and tuning' it should be the first link, its a body shop based in mansfield and the guy works for himself.

The lad who owns it is Andy, ive seen alot of his work and all of it has been brilliant, his air brushing techniq is also great.


The thing is though, if he gets people to come back time after time for work that is slightly cheaper than others, who gets the most money? More work less profit % or mor profit % less work??
