sticking badges back on...
Im currently in the middle of a detailing job and am looking to take off the badges and then reapply the same badges after correcting all the paint.
Normally, I would be attaching new badges but in this case, I need to apply the original badges. Can anybody recommend any decent sticky stuff to reapply badges?
Thanks!

I had good success with 3M VHB GPH110GF. Just make sure surface is clean and, if possible, use primer prior to application.
Sorry for my engrish

I have used this many times on my cars. Excellent stuff.
It does not seem very 'sticky' at first (which can be good thing as you can re-position stuff), but give it 24 hours to 'cure' and it sticks like shite to an army blanket. Also weatherproof.
I use a tiny dab of 'T-cut' to clean surfaces; works as well as alcohol-based cleaners but most people have some lying around!
It's great for getting rid of adhesive residue on paintwork.

I just bought the oem tape from BMW. Was surprisingly cheap and was obviously the correct shape for everything.

Do you have the template or are you doing a “best guess”

You bought double sided tape from BMW?
Harrods do it aswell apparently. Just a heads up for next time.

Pre-cut Pondy, no scissor actions required. For that perfect oem finish

Can tell you're a computer geek. No-one cuts tape with scissors. There's a man called Stanley for such things.

Why spend Stanley labour on it if you can get the finished product for £1. Do move with the times Pondy

Should I 3D print them? I've heard it only take about 3 weeks and £4k.

I like your review (copied below), but Maybe you need a thermometer for the garage as an accurate temperature would be helpful and you mentioned being cold when ‘Waxing’ Daniel-San. Also, this could come in handy if you buy a Scimitar GTE, do they sell it in bulk?Pondrew wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 8:22 pm https://www.screwfix.com/p/scotch-vhb-p ... 19mm/304jj
