sawdusty Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 how do you remove the plastic covering the crest I need to paint it, all the red has faded. thanks JERRY
savvarock Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I don't think you can remove the clear plastic. If it can be done I'd like to know how too.
502ci Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 A girl named Lisa thast used to be on this site asked the same question...if I remember correctly she eventually made an attempt to remove the clear plastic and it cracked or shattered... I`m not sure it can be done.
Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Hi Savva, Bill....Long time no forum. Dad joined the club so I pretty much gave up messaging. He sent this to me...That's how I know about the post. Hope everybody had a great Holiday...Lisa Hey Jerry. Here is a link to the photo's of the repaired grille emblem..I'm warning you though...you better have alot of patience and skill at acrylic nail repair. This was a real biotch to fix. I lost hope quite a few times. Worth it? Yeah...cause it was for Dad and I'm one of those original equiptment freaks. If your not...I'd suggest a repro. web page My repairs P.s the watch button in the photoshow isn't working so you'll have to click on see others in my favorites gallery. Go to Trim repairs. If you want to read the whole post type in Proud of my repairs (maybe the link works there) in the search field in the message forum....Good Luck Buddy!!!
Jared Richey Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Glad to have you back Lisa. We had all wondered wher you had gone. Oh by the way you done a great job on that emblem.
Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Thanks, I worked hard on that thing....And ditto on the last phrase: I'd change it to: Remember you better not CRUSH EM, but What Green Club do you belong to? Antique or Lime I hope. I'm a member of the Ascot Blue First generation Monte Club. Oh No...I'm a forumer again!!! AND REMEMBER PLEASE DON'T CRUSH EM' RESTORE EM'.
Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Oh...Did I mention I repainted the trunk emblem too. That was easy though. No freakin plastic to contend with. P.s. Make sure you use waterproof paint and a clear yellow proof waterproof sealer protectant over everything. I used 5 or 6 coats I think.
Jared Richey Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Thanks, I worked hard on that thing....And ditto on the last phrase: I'd change it to: Remember you better not CRUSH EM, but What Green Club do you belong to?

HEY HEY HEY I HAVE A PATENT ON THAT!!! Anyway yes it is a good saying. Got that off of American Muscle Car when the show is ending. Oh by the way its the FIRST GENERATION GREEN MONTE CARLO CLUB! Hence my AVATAR
Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Your avatar is quite vague Pardon my French...I'm going with antique or classic White! Where's the Green my Dear? Just being silly...Lisa
savvarock Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Lisa, I thought it was a step-by-step video. You just showed the finished peice. I was curious as to how you refinished it. You don't have to get into it now. If your ever by Kohl's you can explain it then. By the way, I didn't know your dad lived in Queens. I have cousins in almost every part.
Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Howard Beach....Yeah, Dad's gonna love me for this one. He's into annonimity....WHATEVER!!! What's your real name anyway? Is it Steve? In the spring I'm going to break his arm off if I have to...and get him to go to Kohl's.
Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Honestly...Savva, I dont have the patience for a blow by blow description in print. E-mail me and I'll give directions....Lisa

savvarock Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Lisa, my real name is Savva. Greeks have a habit of changing a name to something more american. Not me. I have to admit that I hated my name when I was younger. Now I love the uniqueness(? spelling) of it. See ya at Kohl's.
sawdusty Posted January 9, 2007 Author Posted January 9, 2007 thanks for the feed back. I don't want to break the plastic. so I'll keep the faded original in tact and put a repo on if I find I need to see color. thanks again, Jerry

502ci Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Welcome officially to the club... I can`t remember my first post but I snuck in with no introduction myself. I also didn`t want a big deal when I first started to post...I have since opened up here and probably spend too much time here...
502ci Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Oh yeah...Hello Lisa...long time...stop back more often. Bill
