Well, my question to you, or anyone else who is certain of the procedure, is
how does one go about removing these emblems without damaging their nice
clearcoated paint. I remember R+R'ing the BMW emblem from the monoposto seat on
my '77 R100RS after the sun had destroyed it; I used a hairblower, but I really
sweated bubbling the nice flat silver paint. It worked out OK, but that was a
round metal emblem I could direct the heat at, not plastic alpha/numerics.
Also, is there an accepted procedure for removing those cheap dealer rub-on
label they like to stick on truck lids? Oh, after you removed your 5000 CS
emblems was there any problem with paint fade or seeing a "ghost" image of the
ol' 5000 CS??
TIA,
