got some emblems and some questions
I got some emblems for the side of my car, but they have posts on them. The posts are metal, so what can I use to cut them off? Also, I'll need some liquid metal or similar type stuff to make the back flat for some molding tape. What should I use for that and where can I get it?
Thanks for any help and replies.

Cool thanks. I don't have one so I'll have to buy one or find someone to borrow it from.

You can also use liquid metal and wait for it to dry a few days. Not fast acting so if you mess up somehow, you have time to play with. You don't need a dremel tool either. I used a pain old metal hack saw blade to cut off the posts and then filed down the little rough edges. Use 3M auto tape because it will hold up in the weather, but make sure the temp is warm for at least 24 hrs or the tape might not hold as well. Just a FYI some don't realize.

moulding tape from Pep Boys and not the 3M kind? Oh oh, been there done that. Save it for other use and go to Home Depot or Lowes and get you some Heavy Duty 3M double-sided tape.
