$#!$%#@...Just debadged

man I just tried taking off the "ACURA" and "3.0 CL" well the acura came off ok but the 3.0cl i ended up taking some Fu#%$@g
paint off. hopefully I can get some touchup paint and fix it, if not I am screwed and have to paint it. anyoen know how much it costs to paint the trunk? actually anyone know what it costs to paint the whole car also? got alot of chips up front too.

About 1000 for a better than factory paint job at some really ghetto play and 1600 at a nice place

maybe I got it too hot or something, i tried not to do that kept the hair dryer away. looks like its onlt to the primer hopefully touch up paint will work. ive been reading that acura touch up sucks especially for black so i decided against that and will go to like autozone and look for something. if all fails i'll have to repaint.

All you have to do is take a brillo pad and rub that around. You wont notice the scratches you made at all.

For the future if anyone wants to know, Simple Green is a multipurpose cleaner that will not be harmful to your paint that removes the glue, tar and even other hard to come off things that are on your car.
