Default Re: Trim Tag Rivits

Most if not all the trim tags I have seen look nothing like the photo. The centers are open and the rivet folds around the back side. Then seam sealer is applied to the void left in the center of the rivet. I doubt there is a standard look to these. As for removal of the tag, if you do not and have it dipped, blasted, etc, you will ruin the tag instantly. Even a trip in the bead cabinet with to much pressure will warp a tag before you know you even did it. I have had cars in the shop with so much build up of paint on the tag it was un-readable. So much build-up that I thought the tag was a fake. The best way I know to clean the tag is with a mild paint stripper. Anything else and you will be looking at a repo tag..BKH
