Hey guys, the "Firebird" and the firebird logo are starting to fade away in the back in betweeen the tailights, plus i have a white theme going on my car and would like to put new decals in place of them....i remember reading a long time ago of someone sanding and polishing it off.....how do i go about doing this??

thanks...

Rear Filler - I had the faded red (pink) letters when I bought my car so I wanted to fix that right away. What I did was remove the factory lettering all together and replace them with a pewter metallic bird and "Formula" decal. You'll need 1500-2000 grit wet sandpaper and 3M Fine-Cut rubbing compound. Wet sand the tail filler to remove the paint and the raised area. It will take about 15-20 minutes of sanding. You'll be left with a very dull tail filler. Now take the 3M rubbing compound and follow the directions on the bottle [img]redface.gif[/img] ). You may need to go over the piece several times till it gets nice and shiny again. Some people leave the tailfiller blank or you can do what I did and apply decals. I also lightly sprayed mine with some clear because everytime I would wash/dry/polish the car the decal edges would lift up.<hr></blockquote>

I'd take what she has to say as fact when it comes to this stuff
