Whiteout Emblems on Wicked White

Came out super clean!!!

Before I removed the emblems, I marked the placements with painters tape:


Scuffed, 2 coats of primer, wet sanded with 800, 2 coats of white, wet sanded with 800, 2 coats of clear, wet sanded with 1200, and ended with 1 more clear. At least 48 hours to cure:



3M Emblem Tape...done and done:

I like what you did with the trunk button.

How difficult was taking it off?

Very easy. Pull off the inner trunk panel and behind the button are two small screws and tension clip. Unplug the button and done.

you coulda just scuffed with 320 and shot it. Throw two coats of clear on it. Shooting clear over 800 wet can cause adhesion problems in the long run. Did you use a lacquer?
