I know it was the ultimate noob, scrub, rookie move but while de-badging my 2003 Desert Platinum G Coupe I used the green side of the sponge w/alcohol to help get the glue off.

I took the G off first and realized I had essentially sanded through the paint. I went ahead and removed the rest of the lettering but now I am stuck with this blemish on my trunk.

Am I going to have to get the trunk repainted or is it possible to get touched up?

I know you can still see the Ghost of G35. I don't want to hear it.

 

Repaint the panel.....

 

put the G back on and paint the inside, would be less noticable then just painting the spot, and a lot cheaper than painting the whole panel

 

lol damn...repaint the trunk dude. should cost less then $200. id be sad if i did that accidently

 

Wow, you have serious *****.

Not an and of the world mistake but you will need to repaint

 

You might want to try this before taking it to a shop.

Granted it will be trickier to paint a section of a panel as opposed to a whole piece, but it's worth a try.
If you take your time and mask off the rear of the car it can save you a lot of cash.

 

^not trying to be a dick but if OP cant even remove an emblem and the sticky tape that was attached to it without fking up his whole car i doubt he'd be able to pull off a blended paint job lol he'll probably jus end up painting the entire tail light

 

LOL, I was thinking the same thing before posting.
I guess I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

 

I suck.

 

Like posted above,

Not a chance. Good looks though. Ill just get this **** professionally done.

 

repaint.
Think of this as your excuse to get a strafe trunk.

 

I agree with this. If you don't want to pay for it, which I wouldn't, I would just throw the badges back on.

 

doesnt resolve the problem, he sanded through the unpainted areas

 

and use touch up paint i mean

 

Gonna have to repaint if it want it debadged...
