Exclamation Debadging

Hey everyone, just wanted to ask something about debadging. Since my car is 7-8 years old, if I were to debadge the signs on the back, would there be any noticeable signs of color wear? Would the color be more dark/light or whatever? I have a Primrose-colored CL and i just wanted to get some feedback before I remove the signs, let me know, thanks.

edit: anyone like my avatar? haha

I did mine just last summer, same colour as your car and hardly notice any discolouring. I could only see it under a certain angle and lightings.

shouldn't be that bad a ghost, just buff the hell out of it. Also if you search, there's already been numerous topics on this, and they all describe what products and methods to use. Nice avatar.

if you think your paint is in good condition, give it a shot. i did mine, same color as you, but small paints chipped off at the outline of the badges. so now there's a ghost outline of ACURA and 3.0 CL i've been thinking about reattaching the badges. but i just feel lazy and it looks very nice w/o them.

so give it a shot and be prepare to put it back on.

Small paint chips?!? You didn't use a razor did you? Just use some dental floss and after you're done, use some goo gone to get rid of the goo.
