Debadging gone BAD!

sup guys and gals


i owned my car for awhile and was planning to debadge the trunk...

then one day while i was puttin gas i noticed some thing bad...

my acura badge was falling off..i mean that the last 'a' was holdin it up...so i took it off before it fell off.

maybe some one tried to take it...or it naturally fell off....maybe fell off the 3m tape was all hard on the back

now the 'good' part i cleaned of the remaining glue and....chips in the paint...

when it 'came' off it must of pulled off paint now every day i have to look at little chips spelling out acura... :'(

soooo....what to do? i got touch up paint but i know i will f*** it up...and it wont be smooth...anyway fix it with out gettting it repainted?

That sucks but I think you're just gonna have to break down and have it painted, I don't think there's any

other way to fix that and it look good. Good luck

go to your dealership and ask a salesman when their "mobile" painter comes around.....

that's what I do when I need small paint jobs done...

I had the mobile guy debage my whole trunk, fill in the holes from the big "A" and repaint the whole trunk for $175

got the car back in 5 hours
