factory logo crooked
 
My 2000 formula 280 br, logo on the back is crooked from the factory. I noticed After i put the "name" on it. I lined up the "nam" with the factory FORMULA letters and then realized the FORMULA was crooked. Now I got to remove them both and start over. Where can I get the FORMULA printed? I found out its 'bank gothic" no lettering place has that font.. any help ?
thanks

I'd pull it and buff the sh!t out of the back and make the name a little bigger with similar font/color....just my opinion

AllDodge 11-01-2022 03:23 PM

I would remove formula and not put it back

SabrToothSqrl 11-01-2022 03:30 PM

I took the Formula lettering off the sides of mine. Those who know, know. Those who don't. Who cares?

Another vote for just remove it.

I agree with this. Never understood why people put “Chevy” or “Ford” across the front windshield of their trucks… I like a clean debadged look.

BBYSTWY 11-01-2022 05:06 PM

I debadge every single truck I buy...looks cleaner and more mysterious IMO....only reason the nordic name is still on the side of my boat is because it blends and there is a decent sized scratch that it's covering up hahahaha when that gets repaired then it's all coming off

High quality stickers, you can use a heat gun on LOW or hair dryer. warm up the stickers and they should slide off easy.

if they are old or not coming off easily, use a sticker wheel.


SB 11-01-2022 08:21 PM

I agree. Boot the Formula decal on the back.
Bye Bye. :)

Yes thats sounds good. I found an online company that has that correct font 'Bank gothic" that can make it pretty close to original. thanks for the advice.

I would not use the sticker wheel. Never had any good results. Use a plastic scrapper and get the edges loose. Spray WD-40 under the sicker and start working at the edges with plastic scraper or fingernails. The WD will loosen the adhesive and help to remove it from the fiberglass also. It's slow, but it works.

I saw a guy at the marina use oven cleaner to remove the name of the back of his boat. Between the removal of the name and buffing the gel coat out, about 2 hours. Look like new.

I have used "fishing line" (on cars) to slide under and cut/separate logos/spoilers that were attached with adhesive/3M double sided tape.

be very careful when doing this. It works great for painted on graphics...not sure about stickers. We did this on a friends 28ss cigarette when it was getting a renovation.. He left it on too long and it discolored the gel. We were using easy-off oven cleaner
He didnt mind too much as they ended up painting the boat later.

This combo is hard to beat. Debond is suppose to be safe on gel. I do small areas and neutralize the area shortly after. No issues so far. I never thought a plastic razor blade would be so handy. Used it to take all the old silicone off around my old windshield, some decals and numbers off my jetski, and more. Much better that goo gone or whatever Walmart sells. Debond isn’t cheap but it’s worth it.
