Default Debadging and Paint Fade

I took the "hemi" badge off the driver side and of course you can see exactly where it was. So now I'm waiting to see if it will fade and blend in before I take the rest off. It will eventually go away right?

Default fade or scratches

what did you use to take it off? I took mine off and caused minor scratches. took it to a detailer and they buffed out but it looked crappy for a bit and i was pretty upset, your truck is too new to be faded.

I used the fishing line trick and a little "goo-gone," I think that's what its called. It came off relatively easy without any scratches. I guess the fade could be in the wax. I'm planning on detailing it tomorow and look at in good light. I've had the truck since June, and the badge has been off for about a month, I guess. If it's not going to blend in, then I'll probably put the badge back on.
