I know this has probably been asked before but...

Im about to remove the red stripes down the side of my corsa, will the paint underneath be a different colour to the rest of the car?

If so can it be masked with some polish and elbow grease, or is a respray the only option?

What would you advise to get the glue off without scratching the paint?

What colour is your car?

Most paint will fade if not properly looked after (washed & waxed) or parked in the sun all the time etc. but Flame Red is the worst as the paint changes to Pink

Mine's white and there was NO fading under the badges, on my old Nova SRi that was red, the paint underneath was very red and showed how much the car had faded, so the car had to be painted

Heat them up with a hair dryer and pull off slowly, use a little white spirit to get the glue off, then wash and polish

I thought that at first but it didnt harm it in any way..it is just a fine paint and metal polish i think.
You dont need to use it mate as T-Cut will do the job perfect.
