Chuck, have you actually done this??? I find it hard to believe this would actually work without some serious damage to the paint.Use a thick cloth on the bodywork and put a screwdriver between this and the badge and gradually easy it off.
Then soke the sticky pad type material with white spirit and job done.
I de-badged a while back and since my VX is black their is a slight ghost of the griffin in certain light and it shows a bit more when the car is dirty (most of the time with black)
Does anyone else have this and any ideas on how to fix it. (Colour restorer may be?)

It was the first time I'd done it and I was using hot water and dental floss (I think this is harder than the hair dryer method by the sound of it). I did do a bit of leverage at the top and it took a hell of a struggle to rip the badge off and 95% of the gunk stayed on the car. The glue is a massive pain to remove so the more you can get off in the actual removal the better. I would strongly recommend the patient method since getting the badge off is only half the battle.I have never had any damage to paint doing this as the adhesive is left on the bodywork.

Let's see then....stuck on some new badges which I'd sprayed in Halfords Satin Black, all part of my master plan

suprised you needed anything to get it off the Alfa...exceppt a little nudgeBit late, but I got the badge off the back of the Alfa with hot (not boiling) water, and a towel to help loosen it.
Worked for me, now it just performs like a 1.8 rather than looking like one aswell.
