How much would it cost to repaint where rear emblem was removed?

Hey guys, my Black G35 coupe has a little problem with the rear "I N F I N I T I" emblem. The jackasses who I paid to paint a scratch to my trunk lid decided to save themselves a few bucks by supergluing (yeah, im serious ) the same emblems back on as were on before right on to the new paint they laid down.

So, a couple of months later, I try to shave the emblems and I find myself left with the imprints of the infiniti lettering in super glue on my paint. I have tried everything to remove it and its obviously not going anywhere.

How much do you think it would be to get that repainted, and would any kind souls like to recommend me a good body shop in the San Gabriel Valley (CA). Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, but I've been there, done that. CA glue can be some tough ****! Unfortunately for me that didn't work like everything else, so it seems as though its time for a repaint.

You know i think i know just the thing. There is a spray called 3M general adhesive remover. It is some strong stuff! It is a spray. I encountered this product when I went to install my clear bra because they have to take off every little gunk in order to install it. I had some crap on my bumper that I thought was going no where. but this product actually took it off.

Thanks for the idea bud, but that was one of my first tries, didn't do anything but scratch the crap out of my clearcoat. The CA glue didn't show any signs of being removed.
