Need Advice

I applied The "ZO6 Design" LS2 Billet aluminum badges on the fenders of my C6. I "Thought" I measured them correctly-Stupid me! :banghead: When I was done I realized the passenger side badge is slightly crooked:nonod: The 3M Tape is attached firmly I'm afraid if I try to pull it off I'll damage the paint, Fender or emblem. NEED SUGGESTIONS from a professional on how to remove without damaging. Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

I'm not a professional emblem remover but I have removed BSM's before.

Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the emblem (to soften the tape). Then use either a fishing line or maybe dental floss and saw thru the tape on the emblem pulling towards the emblem instead of the fender. You can then use your finger to try and roll the remaining glue left behind, if that doesn't work try a little bug and tar remover or WD-40 to remove the leftover glue. Be sure to try the tar remover or WD-40 in a non-conspicuious place first just to be sure it will do no harm (I don't think it will harm the paint at all), then polish it up with your favorite wax. Before applying a new emblem I would remove the wax with Dawn.

I used Dimont BcCc on this!!!! I've used them all,but some do work and last better than others!!! I've been using Dimont for a couple years now and it seem to be holding up good!!! I know I have been getting better color Matches,and it's easy to go back into if it gets scratched!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Talk to major insurance companies like Nationwide The people they use have to give a lifetime warranty because of their deal with the ins. people.
Most use PPG paint.
I had my LMB redone by a dealer Nationwide recommended and the work was outstanding.
