A little bit got through where I had a gap in the tape but it came off with the claybar

man plastic sheeting would have been a lot easier and its safer.

I wish I could take pics guys.. I put like 12 hours into the body of my car the past 2 days.. but it's in great shape now.. too bad it rains today and probably tomorrow

I'll post up some pics hopefully thurs/fri.. the rear badge looks sweet but the front badge needs some touchup.

I let the rear badge dry for around 3 days before putting it on.. the front badge less than a day.. most of the problems with the front badge were caused by masking the area off.

If you look close the mitsu front badge has grooves around it and it actually has a side angle to it.. hard to explain but it's a real pain to tape it just perfect.

I've been thinking of making some sort of template to cover it pefectly for paint.. if I come up with something I'll post up some images you can print & cut out

I'm not really sure.. I hate taking the front bumper off

It pulls off like the other emblems but it doesn't seem too hard to just paint it like that.

I thought I read somewhere there were 2 things coming out of the back holding it to the bumper :\

I removed and pained mine a few months ago... there are two spike-like plastic pieces on the back of the emblem (they protrude through the bumper). I used floss and a heatgun to remove the majority of the glue holding the emblem on and gently pulled it off. It took about 10 minutes with the bumper off. I used 3M automotive emblem adhesive to put the mitsu emblem back on.
