THIS "SHADOW" (WHICH YOU MAY HAVE FIGGERED OUT YOURSELF) MAY NOT BE A RESIDUE FROM THE EMBLEM
IN OTHER WORDS. THERE'S NOT "MOUNTAINS" LEFT BEHIND, THAT CAN BE "SORTA SCRAPED AWAY" (FOR LACK OF A BETTER WAY OF PUTTING IT)
'COURSE I COULD BE WRONG. HARD TO SEE IT OVER THE NET!
MY THEORY IS. IT IS "NEW PAINT" THAT DID NOT FADE IN THE SUN, 'CAUSE IT WAS COVERED UP
MY BEST HYPOTHESIS IS. IF IT IS RESIDUE OR EVEN IF IT AIN'T, A REAL SOFT CLOTH (LIKE A DAMP COTTON DIAPER) AND SOME "POLISHING COMPOUND" (READ IT'S DIRECTIONS WELL). THIS WOULD BE "MUCH GENTLER" THAN "RUBBING COMPOUND"
WE ALSO HAVE THE PAINT POSSIBILITIES. IF THIS IS CLEAR COAT (WITH NO RESIDUE FROM THE EMBLEM) YOU JUST AIN'T GONNA GET TO THE "COLOR" WITHOUT RUBBING THRU THE CLEAR COAT. NOT A GOOD IDEA
IF THIS SOMETHING LIKE "ACRYLIC ENAMEL" (NO CLEAR COAT) RUBBING AND BUFFING SORTA TAKES OFF THE SURFACE DEAD PAINT AND EVEN BLENDS IN SCRATCHES AND BLEMISHES
TOO MUCH SURFACE REMOVAL WITH EITHER PAINT WILL EITHER GET YOU INTO THE CLEAR COAT'S BASE COAT (USUALLY A FLAT COLOR UNDERNEATH). WITH ACRYLIC (AND OTHER ONE STAGE PAINTS) TOO MUCH SURFACE REMOVAL WILL GET YOU INTO THE PRIMER, AND EVEN DOWN TO THE METAL
RECKON, NOW THAT IT'S EXPOSED TO THE SUNLIGHT IT MIGHT JUST FADE IN AND BLEND ON IT'S OWN?
YOU MIGHT EVEN JUST DROP BY A REPUTABLE BODY SHOP AND LET THEM LOOK AT IT IN "REAL TIME" AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS.'ROUND HERE, MOST FOLKS WOULD GIVE THEIR OPINIONS/ SUGGESTIONS FOR FREE
IF YOU DECIDE TO REPAINT. THIS COLOR ON MY JEEP, IN THE PIC BELOW, HAS HELD UP PRETTY DARN WELL.I PAINTED HIM IN '95, I DRIVE HIM A GOOD BIT (HE'S NOT JUST A SHOW PIECE).I WASH HIM WITH "DAWN DISH WASHING LIQUID". HE HAS NEVER BEEN WAXED
