Easiest way to remove plasti dip? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

NHCamaroSS · 03-28-2016, 06:33 AM

Tried to plasti dip my Camaro emblems and not sure if it was too thick, or too cold when I applied, but regardless they came out less than to be desired. Using goo gone now which works except it's still sticking in the crevices behind the emblem and inside the letters . Any advice?

Try using a toothpick to get in the corners and crevices.

Q tips dunked in some goofoff will work well for inside those pesky letters.

Goof off may eat the adhesive holding the emblem on.

I would do that. Easier to detail the car in that area too.
If you ever want to put them on, you can buy new emblems with the adhesive attached already, and just dip them before putting them on the car.

I removed mine by heating them up with a heat gun (careful of setting as you can burn the paint) then sawed through the adhesive with fishing line. 3M adhesive remover to get residue off. I guess you could also use goo-b-gone.

I used a hair drier and dental floss

Then used goo gone for the goo.
