[VAC] Re: removing reflectors and nameplate for polishing



You will need to get a good metal paint scraper with a solid handle. Then
lay it flat to the skin and hammer it under the emblem or vent at the rivet
point. This will shear the rivet off even with the skin. Sounds drastic, but
it is really quite easy.

Now when you replace the emblem, you will need to mount them with
pop-rivets. You can then paint the tops to match the painted area where the
rivets are placed.
