sooo as opposed to debadging...RE-badging?

[Mike@Addict]

So what do all of you use to re-adhere your rings after painting and such?
i used 3m double sided tape, which holds great! but its super thick and i just hate the rings sticking out and really being able to see the tape
i also inquired about 3m liquid adhesive with a guy at home depot, but he informed me that it may be so strong that if i chose to take them off again, if wud bring paint with it....

Suggestions?

[groundround]

why take them back off it you already chose to put them back on?

think ur missing the point haha....
i have rings...thats not the issue. nor do i want to buy new ones just because the tape is better..

just want to know what people actually USE to reapply them without creating a thick layer beneath them

reaaalllly? shit ok. i will have to further explore next time. unfortunately Home Depot and Lowes both only had the thick stuff i bought. i will have to look around.

Phil: have u experimented with some sort of liquid or goo type adhesive?

3M emblem adhesive duhhh aha don't deal with tape that could prove annoying.

[NorcalPB]

BTW I plasti-dipped my rings so I could get the paint off without taking the rings off again.

My friends did that when blacking out there rings, used the 3m adhesive. Works like a charm and doesn't stick out at all

I don't understand anyone debadging an Audi. I can understand a Honda or like a Toyota. But I mean an Audi? Would you debadge a ferrari?

GARY! did u read it! hahaha TO PAINT THE RINGS! lol....

[BigRedAEM]

I ordered a set of black rings but I won't be able to put them on until I get home. I plan on removing everything and then using 3m adhesive and the sticky tape on the back to get them on.

Haha I know. I was just saying in general.

Haha I know. I was just saying in general.

Debadging the 2.0t and a4 makes sense to me, not the rings. Don't use tape, seems like a pita to cut how u want it, maybe not though.

Lol 1 you wasted money if you didn't get them with 3m adhesive on the back already, and 2 you should have just painted them black yourself - my .02

Just tell me you didn't paint them black? Black on black, you might as well leave them debadged lol. Well-designed rear deserves debadging

I'll be coming back to this thread when I need to put them back on though lol, as what I used last time (I blacked them out, too) didn't come off as easily for re-debadging.
