Does anyone know what kinda glue is on the back of the civic, and H emblems? I am thinking of taking mine off and painting them either black or gun metal, then putting them back on. I want them go back on as strong as there were when i took them off.

 

3m

you can use 3m

WAY back in the day i "smoked my h's"
i used spray tint on the OEM chrome badges
and it came out pretty decent

 

when you say "smoked" did you black them out or did you use an actual smoke colored paint

 

I was thinking of removing my "civic" emblem off my 06 Si. However, I am concerned there are some holes in the trunk lid for the emblem. Does anyone know if these holes actually exist?

 

i took my civic badge off my fg2 there are not any holes.

 

how do you actually take them off? without damaging the paint at all?

 

I am going to try the "dental floss saw" technique tonight. From what I understand you simply use a sawing motion behind the emblem until it gets removed.

I will post more information later once I get it done.

 

i completely debadged my 07 fg2....soooo clean....there aren't any holes underneath the 'civic' and 'Si' emblems, just adhesive...there are two holes under the honda 'H' emblem though...i just pulled with my fingernail...since our cars are relatively new, the adhesive wasn't cured thoroughly...it was still soft, not hard and brittle....

 

Make sure you don't wait around before you remove the civic badge especially if you have a darker colored car because you'll get uneven fade from the spot beneath the badge.

 

any special solvent to clean off the glue? or just good old soap and water?

 

finger nail polish remover, mineral spirits. If some of the tape is still stuck on use a rubber wheel (you can get one at an autozone or someplace like that) with a drill and it will take it off and not mess up your clear coat. It also takes off bumber stickers and decals no prob.

 

i used goo-gone

 

I cant believe this thread is still rockin..

 

dental floss and goo-gone.
thats all you need.

 

Break Cleaner and a Rag once the break cleaner hits the adhesive it becomes soft then use a rag or fingernail gently or if you have rubber gloves work great also... thats what i do and works everytime...

 

Anyone know of any sites that can do custom emblems. I've been thinking of replacing the Civic emblem. And the smoke paint, is that found at any local hobby shop?

 

Roll the adhesive off with your fingers.

 

Heat it up with a hairdryer and use fishing thread or even floss to take off, lol.. then use goo gone to remove any excess glue.

 

Have any of you guys removed the DOHC VTEC decals from the back doors?

 

Side decals come off with the careful use of a hair dryer. Mine came off with no problems.

 

when people here recomended 3M glue, its called Plastic Emblem & Trim Adhesive that is. As far as removing the residue from the emblems, i used bug and tar remover.

 

just used the hair drier and dental floss method. worked great. i used a soft rubber block to get off the majority of the adhesive, then elmers sticky out to clean up the rest. worked great.

 

bug and tar remover and fishing line always works
