Debadging

[Shaggy]

Man, I'm riding the fence whether to de-badge and remove the trim off of my yukon.

I never messed with yukon molding only tahoe but I think non trim looks bad ass on anything. The smooth look looks good to me.

OK, seriously... we know you're old...but your tastes dont have to reflect it...
















However, I have to agree

I can't wait to debadge my Denali this summer!!

i was on the fence with the debadging.... once its off you will never miss it! i also used a screwdriver, i wasnt planning on it, but in the end, it was just easier, the screwdriver NEVER touched the paint... its all about the steady hand

The only debadging I've done on the Denali is on the rear liftgate. I took off the Yukon emblem and the GMC emblem. I'm thinking about buying a new Denali emblem to put back there. I don't ant mine completely debadged considering I paid for the Denali name.

i would have guessed you paid for the Denali 6.0 or the denali AWD or the Denali body moulding, or the Denali everything sweeter... the badge doesnt make the nali

the goo gone works, but it still requres some serious elbow grease... DO NOT USE GOOF OFF....GOO GONE ONLY

Funny story, when I was 16 I used a putty knife and a heat gun, well it got hot, snapped, now I have a scar on my face, So watch out putty knifes are dangerous

Yea I guess I'll leave the chrome on the side, it helps accent it I guess. But the Yukon and and GMC are coming off around summer time or maybe this weekend if I detail the truck.

My tahoe is a 2000 All that is left is the side molding, My worry is that if I remove it will not color match because it is a 9 yr old truck and the PO didnt take very good care if it. Any thoughts?

I was woried about mine too bro, mine is only an 03 but has sat outside and the owner before me did not take care of it at all, I have removed all of the badges and molding is soon to follow, I had no issues at all. Hit it with the compound of your choice after then wax and it'll be fine.

Yea all you gotta do is polish and wax your truck and it'll help with the discoloration if there is any.

Well two tone paint is in the works the truck came from OR so ive started to notice some rot under the tailgate handle, Ive spent over a year now replacing and improving this thing, still love it though

 

[adventurenali92]

Just out of curiosity, will this process also work on the smaller Denali badge on the front doors of a 2006 Denali xl? Don't want to do any damage if those won't come off.

I used a soft plastic bondo scraper, heat gun and brake clean on a shop towel
