But unfortunately i think you will have to order a new badge like i am doing. You can't take off the enamel paint.
Lol, why didn't you just see my pic and decide whether or not you'd like that color scheme?

Cancel your order if its not too late. I just used some Kleen-Strip environmentally-friendly paint thinner that I got from HD a while ago and it took off the black enamel without impacting the "chrome" surface. Took about 10 minutes. Looks brand new :banana:

Does anyone have an 09 or newer I wanna pull mine off to repaint front and back but can't figure out how to access the front emblem can someone help
| toyotabb | 08-08-2012 06:20 PM |
Pull the bumper off to get to the back of the grill. Its 6 phillips head plastic screws, 12 plastic push clips.
| xlaterdaysx | 08-08-2012 06:32 PM |
Just for the emblem? I didn't think you had to mess with the bumper. Just pry the emblems carefully
| toyotabb | 08-08-2012 06:35 PM |
That also works but then you risk cracking it. Only takes 6 or less minutes to pull the bumper. That way you can push on the pins from the back to get it off.
| mhs5074 | 08-08-2012 09:28 PM |
Yea better play it safe and take the bumper off. Plus, it will be a good learning experience :)

I agree with taking the bumper then grill off. It's a ton easier to get the emblem off that way and will save you time.

| DrDustin | 08-08-2012 11:02 PM |
I pulled of my emblem without removing the bumper. 2011 wrx. Although it was more pry than pull. The double sided tape they use is very secure and covers the entire back of the emblem so it holds on very well. You also cannot really get fishing line behind it because of the indent in the emblem and the two pegs that stick out the back. See pics in my prior post. I used a flathead screwdriver and putty knife to gradually work it off. You do run the risk of scraping the chrome ring or surrounding paint if you try it this way so use some sort of padding to protect. I'm pretty sure with warm weather and practice anybody could do this in one minute easily and you wouldn't have to worry about all those plastic clips and having an extra pair of hands to help you reinstall your bumper.

This is a photoshop. I haven't done this.. yet.. and it's not my car...

I like the Subaru badge but it's too muted for me. I'll be getting a dark gray metallic wrx hatch and I was thinking (before even finding this wonderful thread) to try to enhance the emblem with a WRB backdrop. This is my hope / expectation.
Do you think this color / saturation is achievable outside the world of photoshop?

I can see it has been a while since anyone posted to this, but what's the best way to get the rear emblem off? Heat and fishing line? Little bit of some solvent? I've got a 2011 2.5i and just got the front off, had to remove bumper. Word to the wise, clean your undercarriage first!!! I paid the price and 2 of the plastic push pieces broke. Regardless it was an experience
| toyotanick | 06-20-2013 12:43 AM |
everyone is doing this to the front badge... but what about the rear? what are you guys doing to match?

Yes... just don't remove the background layers where the chrome is located. I used several grits of sand paper to remove the blueish carbonfiber background. No worries because once the badging is removed and you have access to the back you'll notice where the stars are located they are actually inset so you basically can sand down the back to remove the background without harming them. I sanded several grits and finalized with a stage 4 1500 grit.
I did five coats on paint after taping the front off.. then reapplied new 3m auto two way taping just as it was from factory.

| The04of518 | 03-20-2014 09:19 PM |
goof off did slightly haze the emblem so be prepared to wet sand and buff i personally on the second one taped off the front with electrical tape the tape started to dissolve slightly yes but it prevented the front from hazing. I used a toothbrush also worked better than qtips. girlfriend/wife's seems to work best.

| Preludicrous | 03-21-2014 01:19 PM |
The only thing I would suggest for painting the stars (and ring if applicable) is to use a pipette instead of a brush. Just make sure the badge is level to keep the paint from running out of the recessed areas. It makes painting so much easier and lessens any mistake cleanups. I did this for a set of Honda center caps and they came out great.

For the front I removed the bumper completely then took the grill out and heated it up with a heat gun "blow dryer" and slowly pried it off I didn't bend or break anything so that worked for me...I have not done the rear but I think by heating it up and pushing it out from the inside of the trunk would work or atleast get enough space to get under it

so really there is no reason to take off the bumper you could just take the badge off with it on?

Can you just buy a decent black badge that you can stick on in place of the blue one? I painted the badges on my Toyota, but they are a bit different than the subaru badge. It wouldn't quite work the same.

You probably could, but it won't look very clean. Painting is an easy process, I'd just paint it I were you.

brake cleaner

I haven't read through this whole thread, but a few years ago there was one that used brake cleaner to remove the background paint. I did this on my 07 badges and it worked great. It left the chrome stars intact and rubbed off the blue cf look. They were repainted grey to match my car, but were eventually stolen:furious: I'll try to find that thread-

I used Purple Power and brake cleaner to get the paint off. The brake cleaner worked better than the purple power so i ended up using it more often. this process of removing the paint took 1.5 to 2 hours (while watching TV) with the aid of q-tips and little wooden dowels. the badge didnt crap or chip or anything with the purple power / brake cleaner.

You can see the checker board pattern in blue that does not get removed. I had to wet sand this off (water + dish soap + sand paper). Upon sanding it i realized i probably could have sanded the whole thing but that's just how it goes...

After wet sanding and the silver is removed and you can start painting the stars. i did red stars and black background since that is my theme. you can paint outside the lines and not worry about it since you can hit it with the sand paper again once it dries.

You can see the checker board pattern in blue that does not get removed. I had to wet sand this off (water + dish soap + sand paper). Upon sanding it i realized i probably could have sanded the whole thing but that's just how it goes...

After wet sanding and the silver is removed and you can start painting the stars. i did red stars and black background since that is my theme. you can paint outside the lines and not worry about it since you can hit it with the sand paper again once it dries.
before plast-x

Do you think this same method would work for the 15 ? I want to do front and back badges. Unless someone is bored and wants to make a set and sell them to me lol

I think this method should work as well for 2015 wrx shift knob (gear indicators). I am going to give it a try tonight.

3m double sided tape/adhesive from autozone/walmart works great. it is basically exactly what Subaru uses to attached the badges. just cut it to the same dimensions as is seen when you remove the badge :cool:

From what ive seen of the 15 badge it looks the same with the checkered pattern and is most likely the same paint / material. Try it out and let us know!
