Decals
I was wondering, If I took off my decals on my fenders, can I put them right back on? Do I need a special tool? Do I have to take off the fender?

I'm talking about the 289 symbols, the horse, Ford symbols, all the metal imblems on my car. I want to take them off to do a cheep paint job for cheeper. If I take them off, do they go right back on? Do I need a tool to do it? I know they have some sort of nutplate that holds them on.
Is that better?

I'm pretty sure you can just pry them off with maybe a wood chisel or a putty knife. You might need little plastic push-on retainers to put them back on. Be gentle though as these are just pot metal. If they're beat up at all, you really ought to replace them. Scott Drake makes perfect replacements for not much $$$. They're available almost anywhere at Mustang parts places. They are usually referred to as emblems.

That was much better, thank you. My experience with Ford emblems has always found them to have small little doohickies (that's the technical name) that slide over the centering posts on the emblem, and "snap" into the mounting holes in the body. The cool thing is that usually they just pop out and pop back in. Most other manufacturers always used clay filled cap nuts on the inner body to mount the emblems, which meant pulling fenders to get them off.
Take care, -Chris

we were just confused because the word decal usually means stickers, or papery things. Like ricers. The things you're talking about are usually called emblems or, like PKRWUD said, "small little doohickies."

We'll let it slide this time, but don't let it happen again.

paint job
If you have some place in mind to paint your car I would take it there frist and see if it`s any cheaper if you take off parts. I work in a paint&body shop and it not any cheaper. Remember that you get what you pay for in a paint job.The main thing is that it is sanded good.

I agree with Tony. You get what you pay for. And a cheap paint job looks just like, "A CHEAP PAINT JOB" . If you want to save money and try and make it look good, well the magic word is "PREP". Blocking, sanding, blocking somemore and then finally sanding somemore too. The prep work is what makes a job.
