Maybe the paint on the body is just faded compared to the paint that has been hidden under the emblems for however many years?

 

nooo not that its around it from where ive been rubbing..
under the letters looks brand new..

 

oh you rubbed your clear coat off. I did that too. I had to redo the clear.

 

ohh, that happend to me. i was hoping that a good buff would help that.. ohh well i guess its going to be like that on mine for some time.

 

hmm.. no good..
what did you do? dupli color clear it or what

 

thats why it is nice to use the 3m remover you don't have that problem

 

that sucks...I used goo gone and a pencil eraser on HOT METAL to get it off, use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat it up

The eraser wheel makes it a ton easier, and the 3m adhesive remover is good if you dont have one

 

I used bug and tar remover on mine last week and rubbed like hell.

 

same thing i did (bug n tar remover), however i dont think i really "rubed like hell" some of them look good, like no rub marks at all.. ie my tail gate however it showed up on my slt badges. regardless im pretty happy. its and 02 and i just took them off 3 weeks ago. so eight years and the paint hasnt faded enough for them to show up. I dont really mind t much, but i do wonder how much another clear coat would run for me. maby a good buff with a wheel when it warms up will help.

 

well that is because you don't get any sun in Alaska to fade the paint.
