Hi folks,

I'm looking to take off the Polo badge from the boot and spray the VW front & rear badges black ir anthricite.

Just looking for a bit of advice really,

- Whats the best way to remove the polo badge without scoring the boot?

- Whats the best way to remove the VW badges?

- Painting the badges?? rub them down, prime, spray, laquer? or just paint over the chrome? just normal halfords spray paint?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm not wanting to make an @rse of this lol

cheers

with the front, all i did was take the grille off and remove the badge, then sand it a little bit, prime, paint and laquer it with halfrauds stuff. let it dry well between coats and put back in. Havnt done the rear but i think they are more tricky

So does the badge just pop out of the grille?

I'm thinking of doing them mat black so might not need Laquer?

it took a bit of careful persuasion with a few tricky clips but it did come out lol.

mine are matt black, bit with a light spray of laquer to offer a little protection. still looks matt black tho!

Remove the polo badge by heating it with a hairdrier, then pour hot - not boiling - water over it to loosen up the sticky glue. Then use a credit card to cut away at the lettering like a saw. The letters will then come off and a residue of stickyness will be left behind. Use autoglym intensive tar remover to get rid of this residue and then finally a bit of t-cut on the area to match the colour back up :) Takes about 10 mins to do.
