Bronco appliqué removal

[AlienHunter]

I want to put the Bronco script on my front fender and remove the stick on appliqué’s on both sides. How hard is it to remove these without damaging the paint and also what can I put these on to preserve the stickiness in case I want to reinstall them later?

How long have they been on? I relocated mine soon after taking delivery. Warm day, a little additional heat (may not even be necessary) but if you're careful, peel them slowly, they actually can be re-used.

I used a plastic razor to get it started, then just peeled it off with my fingers when it was about halfway off. Goo-Gone cleaned up the adhesive easy.
I suppose you could stick them to wax paper for storage. Reproductions are so cheap, I plan on just buying new ones if I ever have to go back.

I tried to buy a replacement “Sasquatch” on the rear quarter and the dealership said it was about $75. That one I’ll probably do after market. Also, the fender appliqués are actually reflective. Not sure if that is what sets them apart, and expensive, from knockoffs

Try using a heat gun or hair dryer. It works pretty good.

Also, because my mother was as seamstress and applique was a common term for things sewn onto a dress.

On the Bronco, most folks call those "badges", and occasionally "emblems", but I don't know that it has an official name. Broncos can identify however they want I guess.

They are just a vinyl sticker. They tend to stretch when removed, but you can get it off without if you are careful and use heat to soften the glue. You would probably need to replace the glue though - something like 3M 90 spray adhesive. As others have said - much easier to just get another if you do want to put it back to stock.

I took my Wiltrak stickers off no problem, peeled carefully, maybe a bit of warm air applied. They are now on my sun visors with other aftermarket accessory stickers ..

The sticker came right off. I used a heat gun, then got it started with my fingernail and gently worked it off. I stuck them on some waxpaper in case I decided to use them for something else, but realistically, I think the stickers look awful and don't foresee putting them on anything else.

Before this Bronco, I had a "Baby Bronco". I took the Big Bend refrigerator magnets off that too. I also stuck them to a sheet of wax paper and handed them to the dealer when I traded it. I suspect they went in the garbage after I walked out. They aren't what I would consider a "quality accessory".

This and you're golden!
