Title: [SOLVED] - Sticking on badges on your Car Post by: sparehead3 on 09 April, 2008, 11:50:54 AM Here's a question : technical but general so I've put it here :
What would you use to stick on a badge onto a car eg: the "integrale" badge on the tailgate ? Title: Re: Sticking on badges on your Car Post by: rogerelias on 09 April, 2008, 12:17:04 PM Hi . We use badge tape in our body shop, should be able to get from any good motor factors. Basically its double sided tape, but about 1mm thick.

I'm visiting a body shop so will see what I can get ... Steve Title: Re: Sticking on badges on your Car Post by: inthedark on 09 April, 2008, 08:42:38 PM Steve,
the superglue route is only when there is residue on the car (from the old badge) and you're putting the same badge back. if it's a new badge then the double-sided foam is the only way, it comes on rolls 10 - 25 mm wide and you will recognise it by the green plastic peel off strip. Don't use the other colours as they all have specific uses. ask nicely at a local bodyshop and they may give you enough for the badge.

You have to ensure that you coat both surfaces and wait until the tack has gone before putting the parts together. And of course you only get one go at positioning the badge but thatr goes for double-sided tape too!

until you're happy then press hard and leave. |
