    So I decided to debadge the car and all went well until the end. I left the heat gun on for a second to long and some of the paint came off with the badge.:mad: To make things worse I was washing the car last night and the paint started to peel off. Now I have a spot about the size of my fist that looks like crap. Any ideas on how I can fix it other than saying repaint the trunk? Maybe I can get a badge or something to cover it up which sounds stupid since I took the stock ones off. Here is a link to the pic.

    before you put a bumper sticker on it at least tape off the area and shoot some paint to seal it otherwise you'll end up with a rust spot.

    I would have to find a bumper sticker that does not suck. Plus I hate the look of bumper stickers on cars. Maybe I will look for a badge to put on it.

    you can spend a little money now and fix it, or it'll rust and you can spend a lot of money later

    My guess is a few hundred dollars at the least.

    You can get a rattle can match from a professional paint store and try to blend it in.
