I'll post a pic or two once I have finished with the emblem and installation of the badges and diffuser... thanks!
Just use dome denatured Alcohol and clean everything around the badge well, then put 4 or 5 coats (wait till they are dry be fore doing the next one on)

then you should be able to carefully peal it so it breaks on the gap between the body and the badge, you might have an x-acto or even a toothpick handy to help it along in that regard.

DogWood, thanks for the advise... I think patience was the problem, did pretty much what you suggested, but when tried to peal it off, some sections completely pealed, should have used a blade anyway, I will clean up the leftover plastidip, use alcohol to clean up the surface and try again. Wonder if i should peal off after each coat once it is completely dry?

Interesting thought, it might work, thinner coat might break in spots you don't want though....but also should break easier where you do...

might be worth a quick try next time you do it..

*Deep sigh* I know man, I know. I plan to capture some nice fall shots here soon that I’ll post. In the mean time I’m saving my penny’s as the new TT GTS has a great deal of my attention. Talked to my tuner and they’re cranking out 160 EXTRA hp & 184lb ft-tq over stock on stage 1 tunes!

Awesome. She's got the right gear on. Couple of friends (Alex and Brent) have worked with Vale since his Repsol days and Davide Brivio has been a good acquaintance since he started running the Ecstar deal. That is my true passion but my body said enough is enough and time to ride something with 4 wheels. Couple pics from Indy awhile back and Austin in 17 i think with the Dr. photobombing us lol

Danika and Dr Indy
