hey guys , some time ago i removed my rear toyota badge and decided to spray it matte black. and to put it on back on i used some epoxy to stick it back on .

being scared that the badge might fall off i used some sticky tape to hold it. but when i removed the sticker tape the paint came off it as well <_< .

so i decided to put some sticky tape around it and spray the badge while its on my car and missed to sticky tape some bits in between the badges.

now at the moment in the middle of the toyota badge theres bit of matte black overspray -.- .

my question is how would i remove the badge ? heat gun and pill it off?

also how would i remove the overspray ? sand it down and cut and polish?

thanks in advance guys !

i'm sorry but let me say... LOL first. OK thats over and done with...

first what u can do is get a good quality cut and polish and a clay bar and see if u can get the over spray off... dont try and get the emblem of again. u will cause yourself alot of headf#$ks later on.

u can try the heat gun if u REALLY wanna take the emblem off but i think u'll deform the emblem before you can soften the glue enough to take it off.

You have kind of made things a little difficult for yourself here if you want to remove that badge. One way or another, if you need the badge removed, just prepare yourself to fix the paint around and behind it. There is a possibility that this may get damaged. Heat would be your only option really and even still, it's not going to be easy.

You may just be better off leaving it on and using touch-up paint to correct what you need to unless you are willing to accept the damage that may occur to your paint underneath during removal.

What DJKOR said, if you take that badge off all the paint around and under that badge is gonna rip off with it. Take a photo and upload it so we can see what were working with. For inside the badge you going to have to get a fine brush and some touch up paint.

Just STOP...Stop and think, can I do this? To be honest I think you should take it to a professional before you do more damage.

Should of just bought a black Toyota camry emblem. If u wanna take that badge off, use a fishing line or dental floss. Then use 'De-Solv-it' citrus spray to remove the adhesive residue. Try using a bit of turps on a cloth to remove your overspray on the panel.

$100-$200 ?

Since its the whole boot panel... labour will cost an arm and a leg for you imo (thinking that the panel beater does it right)

A full boot respray with sanding + blending will cost around $250.

If your in Melb i can do it for you. Just get the right rear badge for your car at Toyota as it comes with the double sided tape for easier mounting. I sand it back and put 2 coats of primer then 3 coats of matt black paint.

Heres how mine turned out.

i think he needs more than just the badge done definitely a respray on the boot

At minimum a touch up guy to come round, remove the emblem and do his job. Given the cost of them however, it's probably worth paying the extra for a complete respray.

Yeh you never know they might be able to salvage it hope for the best just the epoxy scares me because once it sticks its stuck and its over some of the paint... if a touch up guy can do it i would be kissing his feet you will be a bit cheaper than getting it resprayed and less time consuming as you will lose your car for a fews days

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
