Anyone have recommendations on how to remove the name plate on the supercharger for power coating ( picture for attention)

HEAT, a thin plastic trim removal tool, and a lot of patience. The powder coating place can probably mask off the emblem though.

I try that but didn’t get any where

My advice is to forget about heating it unless you're using a plasma torch. That thing gets hundreds of degrees hot and if you're just using a heat gun, that's like standard operating temp for that thing. I would mask it off and paint around it.

The body shop should know this trick, but if they don't, feel free to tell them. Go to Hobby Lobby to the oil paint aisle and find a bottle of something called, "Liquid Frisket." It's a paintable latex mask. You paint it on with a small brush and it becomes a peelable mask in about 20 minutes. That way, you can even selectively isolate certain parts of that emblem, like if you want the SRT to be a different color than the background or the Hellcat logo.

The bottle doesn't say anything about using it on metal, but it works and I've used it often for valve covers and engine covers:

"Powered by SRT" was covered in liquid frisket before painting. Painted it in 1 coat, peeled off the frisket, voila:

The 5.0 logo's baseplate was covered in liquid frisket and I hand painted the USA flag pattern in the negative space left by the 5.0:

The "SUPERCHARGED" script was covered in frisket and I painted the outline in silver light reflective paint (and tape masked all the black coil pack cover). The HEMI is painted in orange reflective paint. All of this was done with a hobby brush. FWIW, I do a lot of scale modeling and I'm pretty good at painting tiny little things:

Excited to see this when your complete. I’m sure it will be awesome. Friendly reminder, and I assume you know, but follow the torque pattern and torque settings on the reinstall.

Plastic trim removal piece and very slowly and steadily lift up and the backing tape will pull off .

How is it name plate affixed to the supercharger cover? Glue? Or double-sided tape? If I was doing this I'd hit the backside of the name plate (the inside surface of the cover) with a map gas torch and see if it would loosen the adhesive.

If you’re not trying to save the original plate just go ham on it

And you people talking about hitting porous cast aluminum that has exposure to gas and oil with a torch are nuts lol

Why?

 

[Unholy707]

Why?

Same thing that happens when you try to weld cast aluminum that has oil and gas soaked into the casting. Ignites, weakens the structure, potentially causes additional pits/cavities. Not sure how good the casting is on the factory lid, think you’d have to get it really hot for it to affect something on the other side of it

I think the thick alum will sink so much heat it will never get hot enough to get the label off. And too much heat might warp it and it will never seal. Masking sounds like a good idea. Or just scrape it off and see if you can buy a new one.

I've never tried to take the Hellcat logo off, but it's obviously put on by some kind of high heat compound or 2-sided tape. Like others have mentioned, to get those off, you're going to have to pry them off. Heat might help, but it's going to be the mechanical prying that will get it off. Whether it comes off in one piece or all bent up is something to consider.

Like I said there is double sided tape on the back of it no glue.

So did you get it off or what OP?

When Jokerz powdercoated my lid, they simply masked it off, mine is a 15 for comparison and flat compared to the
RE which has texture, I put one of the titanium overlays on top of the OEM plate, no issue.

I know this is an old thread but where did you get the overlay? Would much rather go that route than try to pry off the original.
