archangel Member 16 Member For: 16y 2m 15d Posted 29/03/09 02:21 AM Share Posted 29/03/09 02:21 AM Hi all,spent some time on the car yesturday - went to debadge the rear badges and found the glue had eaten through the clearcoat and paint down to the bare metal! it had bubbled up the paint which was soft and pliable. I used heat and fishingline to remove the badges and ended up putting them back on due to the crap glue underneath them...question is - is this normal? I have debadged a few cars before - not falcons - and never had glue eat into paint!now I'm up for a respray (which wont happen due to our baby arriving in 6 week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, has the rear of your car ever been repaired? Could be a sign of a bad paint job.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
