F**K
Thought i would debadge my car today - corsa 2004 flame red
Took off the vauxhall & the corsa badge on the rear using boiling water etc and tips from here, the vauxhall came off fine just t cutted it and was like it was never there BUT then did the same on the corsa side and it has left almost an imprint in the paint!?

To clarify this its not glue or any residue what so ever, yet its left a mark of ORSA to try and explain it looks like some one has got a corsa badge and spraypainted the outsides black onto my car

Ive tried t cut scratch remover, followed by red t cut restorer and then finnally triple car wax and yet its still there. Its really noticiable if the car is clean and dry and is really frustrating me!

What do any of you suggest, im open to using anything -

thanx alot jack

ive been a painter for 9 years and never seen that b4 best bet is go to your local bodyshop and catch one of the lads and ask his opinion as cant really do much from pics,price for a tailgate paint can vary mate depending on who does it and how good a job you want try the local forum part on here for a decent spray shop in your area
