took firebird badges and side molding off

[2short]

This is the only picture I have right now, I'll get some better pics when the weather clears up...I think this made the car look a LOT better, so much cleaner and smoother looking.

looks good. what did you use to take the molding off?

[2short]

I used some dental floss to get the molding to start coming off, then I just peeled it off by hand, then I scraped all the glue off with by hand as well lol.

i tried that im my 3.4 when i had it.. but i couldnt get all the adhesive to come off. so it looked crappy.

that sucks, it just takes time and patience...and for the really small spots that I couldn't get off by hand I used some diluted goof off.

yeah the older the car, the harder it is goin to be to get the glue off, just use some goo gone and ull be good

You have to use isopropyl alcohol, which you can get at any drug store, to get the old glue off.

So if i take off my badges with dental floss and some goof off or isopropyl alcohol, i wont have to repaint that part, will i? I think it looks pretty good to take it off. Not a bad idea since i got so much time during spring break

Dental floss works, but I used thin nylon fishing line. I did mine years ago, no damage to the paint at all.
