I can also see some ghosting and residue on your license plate. What did you use to remove the license plate letters?

I would just like to throw in that a piece of plexiglass, lexan, and really any sheet plastic can be one of the greatest tools for removing all kinds of stuff like badges, adhesives, silicone type seals, gaskets, etc. You just need to put it on a grinding wheel for a couple seconds to make a chisel/putty knife type edge and it will remove anything without damaging paint or underlying material. It is also very versatile since you can reshape it to whatever angle/profile is needed. I usually get ahold of a big sheet of it then cut it into various ready to grind sizes just to keep around for future projects.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
all this talk of taking letters off.. has anyone put them back on? i want to take off my VehiCROSS logos and repaint them and put em back on... rather than spend almost 100 bucks for new ones.. just not sure how to put em back on, any idears?
3M, and others, make a two sided adhesive tape just for automotive trim. Check with your local auto paint supply house.![]()
