Old car, how difficult to debadge

[Rosebud]

I have a 91 Talon. I am thinking about removing the "Eagle", "Talon" and "TSi" stickers on the back. My question is how hard is this going to be? Am I going to need a wire wheel or will Goo Gone and a scraper work?

Thank you!

The thing that has worked for me is a heat gun and a putty knife. I never had any problems.

 

[Rosebud]

I will try that, thanks.

Yea no problem.

yes, wire wheel on a grinder w/ 150psi will certainly do the job.

I don't want to dig into the plastic bumper though.

I used a hair dryer and a credit card. Took forever... You can't just get it going and pull it off. These damn decals will break everytime you try to pick a piece off. Once you get the sticker off, use some goo gone to get the sticky residue off.

My fingers hurt for a week after doing these.

Heat gun and a pressure washer worked for my GST

heat gun is the best, and do it on a cooler day. I found on warm days the glue on the stickers/emblems will smear more and is a PIA to get rid of then. Only other thing to use is GooGone

Thanks a lot everyone. Looks like I have a couple of different options, seems like heat is the key.

I used a heat gun and automotive GOO GONE worked well getting them off without damaging anything.

Hair dryer and a plastic razor, this is what we used at the dealership.

Leave em on. YOu're gonna have horrible fade. You'll see the letter outlines without the stickers.
