taking badges off - 6/10/2006 7:35:07 PM    Yellow_Monte Posts: 416 Joined: 4/22/2006 Status: offline I'm thinking about taking off all the badges on my car except the rear Chevy bowtie. I have different types though. I have 3 badges that all say "Limited Edition Monte Carlo" The limited edition is a regular sticker. The monte carlo is a 3-D word thing with foam behind it. The car is 4 years old and I am wondering if there will be paint fade behind the decals? Also will there be any residue?? Post #: 1

Paint fade could be an issue if it has not been waxed on a regular basis or has been sitting in the sun alot. The only way to know is to pull one off. _____________________________ (in reply to Yellow_Monte) Post #: 2

I used a little lighter fluid to get the sticky stuff off. It looks alot better than it used to. (in reply to wiz kidd) Post #: 4

And it sometimes leaves people guessing what kind of car you have. (in reply to wiz kidd) Post #: 6
