What to use to attach Chevy Emblem on hood?
Wednesday, November 15, 2006 2:53 PM
This sounds like the opposite of what everyone is doing.. but I want to attach factory chevy emblem on the hood.

What is the adhesive to use for this purpose?

I went to 2 GM dealers part departments today, they didn't have anything for attaching an emblem. I think some kind of thick double sided tape will be used... but I'm not sure.

Any help appriciated.

Thanks.

actually, 3M makes an adhesive called "Plastic Emblem & Trim Adhesive" that works wonders for doing that. it comes in a little 1 oz black tube and you can get it at walmart, autozone, advanced auto, etc.

i would say not to use super glue if you ever want to take the emblem off

one of my chevrolet badges broke and i superglued the letter back in place, and i have recently debadge my car and the superglue stayed on the paint and nothing would take it off.

i ended up getting this super glue debonder and it softened the glue, but it also took some of the paint off

I just bought carbonfiber and flamed z24 emblems off ebay, I'm worried some lowlife f*ck will steal them off my car in a parking lot or something, is 3m double sided tape somewhat strong? But I also don't want to use super glue or something and not be able to get the emblem off later down the line, ya know?

i use black gasket maker, holds great, and later on if you want to shave the badges, heat it up with a heat gun and peel it off. just don't heat up the plastic tail panel it melts really quick!!!
