United States Military Navy Metal Decal Emblem, 4 Inch

I got this to replace one of those emblems that was inset on a ~1/4" thick brass circle/frame; in less than a year after I applied it, the center emblem fell off while I was driving. This one should last longer since there are no separate parts and it has a lower profile. The price is fine, considering it's a metal emblem of a relatively large size.The adhesive backer was a pain in the ass to remove - I recommend following the other reviewer's advice on using the tip of a box cutter/utility/razor blade to separate it from the emblem; fingernails will not cut it (pun intended).I can't help but address the negative reviews, because I've noticed that the majority of people who are complaining are Army (special callout to the Navy meathead, though) ...Heh.For those who complained that it's thin - that's what your girl said. You can tell that it's thin from the picture AND from checking the given measurements. Read.For those who complained about the adhesive - especially without even trying it before applying alternatives - it's a METAL emblem. Do not put it on glass. Vinyl can go on glass, paint, or some plastics; metal needs to be put on other metal. If you want to put an emblem on your window (why?), get a vinyl sticker.Pro tip for people who need to remove emblems from paint without scratching it: Goo Gone and dental floss. Put Goo Gone around the edge of the emblem, especially the top edge, and let it sit for a few minutes. Then take dental floss (or fishing line) and run it behind the emblem by pulling it back and forth. I did that to get the old brass frame from my first emblem off and it was quick and easy. If you're putting another sticker or emblem in that same place, make sure to wash the area off with dish soap or another de-greaser and dry it completely before you apply the new one.

Ordered this Navy nameplate to badge a wooden keepsake box I ordered at the same time. Very satisfied with the prompt receipt, quality, and results. The emblem is a stamped light-gauge aluminum with painted enamel markings. I used the tip of an X-acto knife to carefully remove the 3M adhesive liner, then centered on the lid surface and applied even pressure on the badge's low areas for bonding. If I were to apply it to an uneven or curved surface (or outdoors), I would likely opt to use a thicker adhesive (like auto trim or foam tape). If used outdoors, I'd also recommend spraying with a UV clearcoat to reduce color fade.

I put this Emblem on the front of my truck the day I got it! I have drive over 2,00miles and it still look's brand new. This product is super durable and looks great anywhere you put it on your vehicle. Make sure you put it where you want it, because it ain't coming off! But It does make me proud to display my 30 year Army service.

Beautiful, but had to use my own adhesive…using on my ammo box urn

The decal doesn't stick to a surface at all. Complete was of money

I put 2 of these on my truck under the mirrors. I've had people tell me how great they look. They are metal and stay on even through a car wash

This was perfect to go on a wooden box to hold thank you cards to a veteran. It is sturdy enough to be stuck to a car so it will last on this box.

Nice looking badge. Even though it is large you need to be close to see what it is. From a distance it looks like a gold circle.edit 9/04/2019 - I bought this 4 years ago and placed it on my car. I tried to remove it this year when I sold my car but could not remove it! It is quite sturdy, yet thin enough to conform to the curve of my bumper. Only bad part was that after 4 years the varnish was dried out and peeling.
