the lexus logo and wording paint on the engine is chipping. How exactly do i remove it so it can be painted? is it any different then an emblem on the body?

It is most likely held on by an adhesive. What is the size of the "L"?

I'm not too sure but I would start by using floss to take it off and watch for little pegs on the back.

90% sure there are no pegs underneath and it is held on by adhesive, i think ive seen a 1uz with those emblems shaved before

While the engine is warm, take a piece of fishing line and try sliding it back and forth between the backside of the emblem and your engine cover. You should be able to remove it pretty simply this way. Take some bug and tar remover and clean up the left over adhesive. I'd check with Sewell for replacement emblems. They usually have small stuff like this in stock.

No adhesive. Its small pegs located randomly. If you remove it, there's gonna be holes on that square piece the emblem is on.

just paint it with plasti dip...then peel off any overspray.

heres the lnk to the thread also https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-required.html

the L is about 3/8 of an inch.

so the square plate which the emblems are on are is connected by adhesive and the emblems itself has little pegs?

I'll check if they have them on stock also. It would be easier to just use plastidip, but I like chrome finishing a bit better.

My comment is no longer valid lol.

Take the logos off and install a custom designed plate in that area

Ah...it looked black on the screen of my ipad. My mistake

my vote would also go for the platsi-dip

My vote is just buy a brand new emblem for it. Wouldn't cost too much.

That's what I thought initially but how does it stand up to heat?

so tied 1 and 1.

a little idea...plasti-dip then put chrome on the plasti dip, but I think Ill just try to find a new emblem.
