How Much Does It Cost to Paint Car Emblems

Professional Removal:
Car Badges, Emblems, Decals
714/ 624-0804

Looking to have car badges, emblems or decals removed from your car, truck, or commercial equipment?

Important Message: Due to the volume of calls I get every day I am adding this message for your convenience.

Virtually every debadging/emblem removal job is unique. This list will help you understand what is factored into cost:

• How many total emblems/badges to be removed?
• How many total emblems to be replaced?
• Will replacement emblems be aftermarket versions, or OE (original equipment)?
• How old is your vehicle? (the older the vehicle the more work is involved from the removal process to the final paint polishing)
• Are emblems attached with double sided tape only with no pins through sheet metal of car, or a combination of double sided tape and aligning pins?
• Are you looking to replace with exact replacement, or switching to a different sized emblem for an updated look to your car/truck?
• What color is your car/truck? (the darker the paint the more work involved)

Since no standard exists when it comes to these jobs, every job is treated as a unique situation and priced accordingly.

The checklist above illustrates the many factors that go into pricing out your specific requirements.

For this reason the best and most immediate way to find out cost and availability to is shoot me a text:

714/ 624-0804

I have to screen all my calls or this hard working guy would never get any actual work done.

Please text the following info at a minimum:

• What service you are needing done: removal of badges only, or removal plus installation of new badges/emblems?
  
• What is make and model of your vehicle?
• What color of paint is your vehicle?
• What is the year of your vehicle? (the older the vehicle the more work involved)
  

If you are the detailed oriented type of individual, I will also be asking you the following:

• How many badges total need removal?
• How many badges/emblems you want replaced if you need this done?
• Do you have replacement emblems already? ( I always recommend original equipment emblems purchased from dealer as a rule [these always fit best], but have seen a few after market versions that are of quality)

These are added notes that you should find useful:

• Most jobs (removal of badges/emblems only) average between 20-50 minutes based on how many badges/emblems total.
  
• People come to me (I make exceptions based on a case by case situation) and I am in the city of Placentia.
• You are welcome to watch, or you can relax in my place (watch T.V., work using my wi-fi, relax, clean my house, whatever works for you)
  
• I am on a cash only basis.

Car Badges Emblems:
Professional Service
Professional Results!

Whether you are looking to simply remove a single emblem or remove all car badges emblems and stickers matters not.

"Experience is KING!"

The reality of every part of life often comes down to experience! Many guys can create and maintain the appearances of experience, but don't really have it.

We have performed hundreds of these types of jobs. And despite how easy many people (myself included) can make this look in a video, the truth is that every car is unique. And based on the car/truck with regards to the age, the color, and the specific emblems or badges being removed will determine the potential problems that can arise due to lack of experience.

Cutting corners on a moment when car badges emblems are being removed is not likely the place you want to save a buck by doing it yourself, or leaving it to the hands of the inexperienced

When You Are Ready...

If you are ready to have a professional (that's me; Darren Priest) perform this for you please reference the following:

• You can text me and I can give you a quote.
• I will need to know the the type of vehicle, the age, the color, and which emblems you want removed.
• I am mobile and can come to you, but most people will travel to me and save themselves some money as I charge more to travel to you. (I am in city of Placentia of Orange County)
• Since every car/truck is different, the cost will be based on all variables.
  
• As a starting point, a single emblem removal might cost $60, with a full debadging of a truck or SUV with many emblems to remove running upwards towards $200.
• Once again, there are many factors that will affect the price and I will need to take all these into consideration so you get the results you are after. (remember the part above about experience; experience has taught me how to ask the right questions so I can deliver superior results)
  
• I am on a cash only basis (Yes, the few have ruined it for the many)
• I can set these jobs on weekday or weekend appointments.
  
• Your car/truck should be relatively clean prior to me working on it.

Darren took my 9 year old Acura MDX and made it spectacular! I believe his knowledge and attention to "detail" goes above and beyond!
Thank you!
Craig Leitch
Foothill Ranch, CA

I'm somewhat of a car nut. Always have been and I don't mind it a bit. I also thought I had the very best detailer out there but boy did I blow that one. My son insisted I try Darren at Auto Fetish and I succumbed to the pressure and did. I did not realize what perfection looked like until Darren announced my car was completed. The depth of the shine, the attention to detail and the thoroughness of the work were well beyond any past experience. No question Darren really takes his work seriously and the customer reaps an enormous benefit. If you take pride in your wheels, Darren's the man!!
Larry T.
Huntington Beach, CA

Darren - Thank you for an honest quote over the phone, early arrival, and most importantly an outstanding detail job which restored my car back to excellent condition. The paint touch up looks great and my leather seats are super clean and sport a "new" conditioned look. Keep up the good work!
Bill C.
Fullerton, CA

Darren - I appreciate your work even more as I see it day after day! even though I live in Northern California, there was nobody I felt right about in my area so I knew I was in for a drive to come down to you. I am so glad I did. You were also so very accommodating!
Ray P.
Pleasanton, CA

Wow! Our RV looks amazing! That front end literally glows. Darren, I am more than happy; really! Our RV did not look that good the day we got it brand new. No seriously Darren, it really didn't look this good! Thank you!
Ed L.
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Darren - I just got a call from my mom and she is really, really happy with her car! This is the reason I referred you as you are professional in all you do, so thank you. That car means more to her than her children; you have a customer for life!
Thank you again!
Andy
Placentia, CA

Darren - the scratch you fixed on my Mustang Cobra looks really, really good! Unless you are a professional car buyer you would not even notice it. It looks so much better than before; thank you!
Dennis A.
Anaheim Hills, CA

I spent considerable time looking for the right person to detail my 2007 Porsche Cayman-S (Black). I was impressed with the recommendations and accolades Darren received on his website including the samples of cars he had detailed. I was even more delighted after he finished detailing my car. It looked amazing; inside, outside, the wheels, everything. I will be using Darren for my detailing needs and will recommend him to the folks in my Porsche club.
J. Adorante
Irvine, CA

I have been using Darren's professional detail services, Auto Fetish Detail, for close to 15 years now and continue to do so. Darren has taught me and my staff just what real detailing is. Darren is incredibly meticulous and attentive to details. Whenever I have a customer who demands the best, I tell them to call Darren at Auto Fetish. I can always tell when Darren has detailed a car because the level of quality is like no other! He is not the cheapest guy in town, but you can't beat the quality!
Ron Erickson
President, Exclusive Motors
Placentia, CA

I have known and used Darren's services for 20+ years. I own Xlnt Tint of Anaheim inc. and see many cars every day. When we have a particular customer that needs top notch service, there is nobody else I would trust but Darren! He is very meticulous, and knowledgeable. If you are in need of someone who will take their time but most importantly bring over 20 years of hands on knowledge, this is the company for you.
Mike Schuch
President, Xlnt Tint
Anaheim, CA

"Wow! Now that is what my car paint is supposed to look like; I can't believe what a difference you made! This is exactly what needed to be done, thank you!"
Mike N.
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

"I took a leap of faith by picking someone on the Internet to detail my bosses boat! I wasn't disappointed! Darren was professional, punctual, and very easy to deal with, and best of all, he did a FANTASTIC JOB! I couldn't have been happier. We will definitely be a repeat customer!!"
Samantha
Maxim Security Systems
Corona, CA

"We have seen the work of other detailers in removing various forms of vinyl car decals and vehicle wraps. Often we have to spend additional hours due to the incomplete removal of old graphics, before we can apply new graphics. Save yourself time and aggravation by calling Darren first and have it done right the first time around; this is the way it should be done!"

President, Sign Pros
