badge'ing gone wrong!!!

[spanishbhoy]

hey

was trying to put a renault badge on the boot of my clio... went a bit wrong. ended up aborting the badge idea... got some glue on the paintwork though,,, got most off ok but couple of bits are solid. feel like a tit

and yes i know theres lessons to be learned here...how can i get it off?

will i need to go to a scratch and dent specialist to get it buffed down and touched up with colour coded paint

cheers

ps hands are covered in glue too... f**king annoying lol

Should've just used those sticky pad things you can buy. Cut them up to fit behind a couple of spots on the badge and press on.

Realise it's probably not much help now lol.

try some t cut to remove it.

 

[spanishbhoy]

yeah dont think i thought it through properly...

rAGING

lesson learned

how do i fix it tho

 

[spanishbhoy]

forgive my ignorance... whats t cut?

 

[kerry-w]

Tbh id just stick the badge over it, or a sticker. Easy temp fix

 

[Aluco]

Can you like heat it up with a hairdryer then use Autoglym glue and tar remover ?

Probably depends on the type of glue though, it's not superglue is it ? haha

please don't tell me you used superglue? you can buy glue removers but im not sure as to what it will do to your paint work.

**edit... bit late on the post.

Lol that's helpful for anybody else but you do realise he doesn't know what t cut is and just used superglue on his car, so w+d will be a disaster!

sounds dum But in halfords they do GLUE REMOVER it looks like supper glue but it dose what it says.

(i made some Lego dust caps and did not let the glue set be for putting on and got glue on my wheels. all came off with this stuff)

 

[spanishbhoy]

...its a learning curve

 

[Hutchie]

bloody steep hill for you

thanks... hopefully it works... failing that ill have to try picking it off and then using touch up paint to cover it up or use the t cut stuff the other guys suggested....

Apparently if you use brake fluid it works quite well? Just what I heard.

Not. Sure. If. Trolling.

You mean brake fluid? That corrosive stuff that'll ruin your paint?

FYI, NEVER, I really mean never, use superglue on paintwork again. Jesus.

Best option is to try the glue remover and then go down the 3000 grit etc route.

 

[joshclio999]

Lol I was joking

 

[Hutchie]

battery acid is a gentle glue remover.

 

[guysy]

I believe most cars lacquer is petrol resistant i.e. where the petrol cap is it has to be,

Id try petrol on a cloth,

Before that if i had any id soak the area in autosmart tardis, a strong tar remover... if you dont have any try petrol, id google it before doing though just in case its not safe

Soak it holding a cloth, dont rub you'l scratch the paint badly but tbh your probably not going to avoid it!

i used some epoxy resin and it set to the boot alright but not the thing i was wanting to stick down... ive been told i could solder it off? is this true
