removing ram 2500 emblem

I want to remove the emblem on the doors I'm worried the paint will be a different shade. I started to peel the 4x4 sticker off the tailgate and the paint was way lighter. Anyone ever had this problem?

It's got a tan line just like your girlfriend. You could probably blend it in with some buffing compound.

I buffed and buffed and buffed... in the right light you can still see the lines, but my truck is also black, yours is red, might not be as noticable. It's getting all the sticky stuff off that really sucks

Carb cleaner will get the sticky residue of no problems. But don't get it on anything plastic...

A decal eraser will take off the sticky stuff in about 10 seconds

That may be the difference between an Iowa tan and a Texas tan
