Emblem question


Recommended Posts

Can I pop out the red gmc center on the emblem or is it glued down? I'm in between doing either a wrap or doing plasti dip on my emblems I like the idea of wrapping it better but can these be pooped out the red lettering ad694768a499d226a7ce91fe391fdeab.jpgd345217dae2c93506e795a3737de674d.jpg

Instead of debadging, I blacked out all my emblems with plasti dip. Did mine in December/ January and still looks great!

I found a metal putty knife pops it off. I got one about an inch and a half that had a little flex to it and it worked perfect. Another member here recommended it to me and my badge turned out great. Just felt better having it off and being able to dip it. Good luck

Did you heat it? Or did it just pop out...

It just pops out, didn't have to heat it. Their are tabs that it snaps into. Probably best to do it on a hot day since it is plastic. At first I was a bit hesitant but just take your time and they will pop right out. I have the basic grille though so hopefully all the emblems snap in the same way

The front pops out, the rear is held with double stick tape. Once off and flipped over, you can carefully drill out the white posts and the red GMC will pop out from the chrome. Then you can do whatever you want to it, I painted mine. Afterwards snap the G M C pieces back in, use some model car glue on the backside posts and reapply to the truck.

I put 4 coats of plastic-dip followed by 2 coats of Glosifier on both my front and rear emblems. I also added the Z71 logo to the bottom left of my front grill (got the idea from another member). I'm still debating on debadging the emblem on the tailgate.

And it peeled off the chrome nice?

Yes, there is a natural break between the chrome and red on the emblem. The trick is to take it slow, don't try to rush it. Also, I would tape off and cover more area around the logo than the guy in the video does, it just saves you the hassle of having to remove overspray. The front emblem took a little longer to prep than the rear one also.
