Or rub it with your finger until it comes off.

#11: Re: HELP: Dbadge Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2013 11:02 am ---- What did you use that took the paint off?
#12: Re: HELP: Dbadge Author: bri-man, Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2013 11:15 am ---- A rubber i think it may have been painted and they have stuck the badges onto fresh paint of some widge has glued them on in spots, as there is a tiny bit of clear residue just below abit thats stuck!
#13: Re: HELP: Dbadge Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Fri Jan 04, 2013 12:21 pm ---- I find that the residue from the badges is easier to remove when there is a bit of heat to soften it. So carefully warm it up with a hairdrier then try a product like Tardis or Citrus Glue and Tar remover with a cloth
Hope this helps you

If you do be very carefull to try and sand only over the raised glue. If you do hit the clearcoat then dont worry too much as it will buff out with some polish. Just dont go through the clearcoat.
Edited to add where the paint has come off. Touch up base coat. Filling in the hole. But not to level. Then touch up with clear coat. Sand tos flat carefully. Then buff to finish. If you have faded paint a decent bodyshop should be able to make you a small pot of paint to match the fade.
Their is a good how to for paint chips in the how to section.
