is there a special technique or is it just patience with floss?

 

You forgot the cursing part...

 

IF YOU ARE REPLACING WITH BLACK CHROME BADGES - one little tip....either mask around the existing badge or leave a small amount of residue on the fender from the badges - that way you can accurately replace them whilst making sure they are level...nothing worse that crooked badges!

 

alot of cusing and you might want a glove i did mine about 5 days ago and water blisters appeared.... looks good except for the 15 minutes of cusing in the hot sun... but patient with floss and possibly sticky out from a office depo or some other kind of stick out thing... not the ones you buy at a autoparts store... they suck...

 

Here's my take on it since I just finished doing this.

2 hours later and I'm finally done replacing the side emblems with the black chrome emblems. That was the biggest pain in the a$$ to do. Once I got the old ones taped off so I could align the new emblems in the same spot, I spent a good hour and a half just scraping off the old adhesive. I used dental floss to remove the old emblems (that was the easy part). 3M Adhesive remover and an old credit card became my new best friends for the rest of the afternoon. I didn't scratch the paint at all and I also put a good coat of wax around the area when I was finished.

Good luck.

 

i removed it with a floss and i spent 1 hour trying to remove the fu*king adhesive....plus i scratched my fender badly
try to be careful and get a proper adhesive remover

Also use a hair dryer on the emblem, is comes off much easier !!
