Need Advice!!! PLEASE COME IN!! Emblem Question:
Ok, So I ordered some 98-02 Formula Door Emblems for my LT1 Bird... Right now they're lime green, I plan to sand them (Gently, there fragile. LOL), Spray them Black, Clear Coat, and order chrome overlays.... How should I put them on? I was thinking 3M tape, but wont that stick out to much from the car?
Filler Panel Question:
There was a tacky looking "Not A T/A" on my tinted filler panel, when I removed it, it left the words stained... Do you think if I remove it, spray tint it , put a flat back Firebird w/ "Formula" above and then spray clear coat it, will it look ok?? You wont be able to see the "Not A T/A" stain, Right??

yeah use 3m tape.......but no badges looks much cleaner! But yeah... I'm speaking from experience. I took my stock T/A emblems off, painted them red and 3m glued them into spot after painters taping where I need the emblems to be.anddd I guess the glue had an alcohol base which melted the paint to my car....anyways....i had to claybar and wetsand those areas. ... just a warning for those people who wanna pull a papichulo move like I did.

Why not just go to your local parts store and get a tube of the emblem glue in a tube? it'll keep you from cutting tape and would let the badge sit completely flat. Just use a thin bead in the middle so it doesn't squish out the sides. And it sounds like a cool idea you have for those badges, should look great!
