Debadging Help
Hey there, first time posting but been on forums many times.
I debadged my car quickly a few weeks back and I managed to take away some paint lol, anyone got any tips to repair that? I seen something in Halfords that repairs scratches so I might give that a try.
Also on the boot key-hole plastic part, there was a mark left where the badge had been so I sanded it down a bit but didn't really work and faded the blackness of it. Was wondering if there was a way to take it off and respray it either black or red.
I got some images here if you'd like to see;
Any help appreciated, thanks

Re: Debadging Help
try and polish it out, if it doesn't polish out, I suggest either respraying it yourself or taking it to a pro, and get the plastic bit removed in the middle and get it all smoothed.

Re: Debadging Help
best thing to do on the black plastic is either, take it off n spray it red, or, u could buy some back to black gel which would make it look like new. the paintwork, u may be able to fade it in with a little bit of t-cut.

Re: Debadging Help
Well I managed to take off the boot grip thing fine, gave it a little sanding down and resprayed it black again.
I've tried T-Cut like 3 times now and there is no change whatsoever, I'm assuming im gonna have to sand the area a bit and paint it or something then.

Re: Debadging Help
^^ Yup that's what I said in the original post
I got some T-Cut but it didn't really do much.. I dont know if trying again and again will help or just do more damage lol.
