de badging

[lauri]

Planning on de-badging the rear of my nova next weekend. problem is that it was flame red but is now a little faded. worried that when i take the badges off the colour beneath will be so different it won't t-cut back. anyone shed any light?

thanks,

T-cut and elbow grease unfortunately. Could try coloured T-cut.

i am new 2 the modding scene and was wondering, what is the point to de badging?

its different and makes the car look subtle and if you have a crazy bodykit people wonder what car it is.

you can to to a bodyshop and get the car g3'd a good flatten and polish will make your dull vauxhall redish pink paint look good again

Did it last weekend. Used some cutting paste like a harsher type of t-cut in the end. Came up good as new! Having no badges has made the car look smoother and cleaner imo.

I had the great job of trying to T-cut my dads old car

i usually do a few places, then lose interest,lmao

so it ends up all different colours lmao
if you have the patience tho, it can really bring old faded paint to look like new again
