Emblem Removal "debadging" of Truck

[BruBaker19]

My brother had to paint his old Dakota and took off all the emblems to do so. I really liked the way the clean truck looked. I decided to do the same to my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Big Horn 4x4. I took everything off besides the Ram logo on the tailgate. I am very happy with the result. I will ceramic coat next.

I used a heat gun, fishing line, leather gloves, a 3M eraser wheel on a drill, some Goof Off solvent, and a microfiber cloth. The fishing line was 4#, a stronger test is a better idea, just use a long sawing motion to cut the foam off the emblem.

You can hand peel or use a soft plastic edge to scrap off the adhesive. Then use 1/4-1/2 speed with the 3M eraser wheel on a drill. Wear eye protection for the eraser wheel. Use a solvent and towel to remove the residue. Then compound and buff out, finish with a wax. I will not wax since I'm going to ceramic coat.

If you took off you emblems, share some photos of your clean looking truck.

Removed the “CLASSIC” badge and vinyl stickered the rest. It is a lease so I have to return it like I got it. But that “CLASSIC” badge had to go. It looked like my door had a paragraph.

I like the regular cab short bed truck. If I didn't have a family of 5, I'd own one. I owned one years ago and it was awesome. The shorter wheelbase just makes off road so much fun. I have a crew with a 6.4' bed now, so I really notice the difference on what I can go over and get down in the woods. Not to mention you can buy two of them for the price of the fancy four doors. I'd rather have 2!
