De-Badgeing gone wrong HELP!!!!!!

Post by EAT-SLEEP-CORSA »

I wnt and debadged the tailgate on my corsa (except the 16v badge leavein that on) and when the badges were removed they left some vary hard glue which i tryed every ting to get it off eg. White spirits, wd-40, paint tinners, bug 'n' tar remover, i even tryed heatin it with a heatgun and pick it off with a credit card and still it wont remove and while i was takin off the badges they took some paint and laquer with them as showen in pic hard glue in red
where paint and laquer were removed in black.

what i want to know is can i just spray thoses patches and blend them in whit the rest of the paint on the tailgate or will the whole tailgate need resprayin also if i sand down the hard glue with very fine sandpaper can i just buff out the scratchs with a electric mop or will it damage the paint to much i need answers please :(
