    Chevrolet emblem

    Is there anyway to take the letters chevrolet off my tailgate without leaving any marks or messing the paint up?

    heat gun, wire, and a good buffer. Or you can take it to a body shop and pay them a few bones to do it. That way if it gets messed up, they have to fix it.

    I did mine with nothing but a hair dryer and a bottle of Nu Finish to polish it. Once you heat up a part of it you can peel it off like electrical tape.

    I bought a flip kit and let Red03SilSS redo my whole tailgate. You should do the same thing with the entire tailgate. Its clean as hell

    I peeled mine off in the cold so the vinyl wouldnt leave alot of sticky residue left. Then I took some 3M adhesive remover and a shop rag to get what was left on the truck off.

    yeah peeling it off in the cold it tends to break apart and not come off in one piece...if you do it in the cold i suggest using a hair dryer to help you out a little
