De-badging

You could get de-gloved

 

I think it looks cleaner naked if it’s lifted but for some reason if it’s not leveled/lifted it looks weird to me

 

Get rid of the limited keep the tundra

 

Not a bad idea..might have to give that one a try.

It's a work in progress and I took a break from de-badging to put on new wheels and tires yesterday

 

Nice truck and I concur with your second sentence….

 

Thank you!

 

Fully debadged and destickered along with first ceramic coat. Nice clear complexion with no pimples or zits. Never would have thunk to have it done until joining here lol.

 

I can always remember stubbing a finger on a cold day washing the car...

 

Painted badges to match.

 

I had this thought also. But I feel like it works better with a pop of color like yours. I’m not so sure Cement would have the same effect. Did you do the TUNDRA on the door below that badge?

 

With the Platinums, you only have the badge on the top part of the door.

I bet with the black background, Cement would look good too.

 

I just used 3M auto double-stick tape. Its pretty much the sane stuff the OEM uses. Before I took the badge off, I placed masking tape around the badge border to ensure they went back on as they came off.

You’re smarter than me

 

Sick! Is that stock height looks very clean.

 

Thanks!

Height = Bilstein 5100s all the way around..."mid" setting on the front.

 

Is it true that if you put your removed badges on a Chevy, Ford or Dodge it makes them more reliable????

Debadged and ceramic coated. Join the group.

 

Well peer pressure might get me on this one. Now if I can find a platinum Barcelona tundra hit in the side so I can grab the grill surround, bulge, and bumpers on the cheap

 

You could also post a want to buy (WTB) add here. Lots of guys get full front bumpers.

Alright gave it a test run with the 5.7 badge. Ended up with an outline around the badge that’s smooth to the touch. Tried windex, goo gone, dawn dish soap, elbow grease, finger nails, to no avail. Won’t have anymore time to mess with it today but should have a good bit tomorrow. Tips? Tricks? (Best picture I could get. It’s a full line around where it was)

 

Polish/wax the area.

 

Ok I’ll do that, thanks

 

Just a quick polish/wax, by hand, with whatever your product of choice is.

That took mine away.

 

Honestly I’ve always treated my vehicles like crap. Trying to turn over a new leaf. When I debadged my Sierra it had lines still. Took it down wet gravel about 50, let it sit dirty for a week and pow! Gone. Call me magic man
Edit: So I don’t have a product of choice… I’ll be sure and have one before doing the rest tomorrow though

 

I'd think anything like swirl remover would buff that out..
But no old gritty polishing compound..

I’ll have to look into that!

 

I used my Griots 2 inch buffer with my correction cream after I used goo gone. Then buffed it with polish.

 

Closest thing I could find locally was TurtleWax polishing compound. Took it all off except for the two scratches I put on the truck when I flipped the 5.7 emblem too hard. So passenger side SR5 and 5.7 emblems off. She’ll just have to sit cockeyed for the night

 

Done and done
