E30stz 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) Hi guys, decided to de-badge the 318 only now it has got a tanline from where it used to lye. What would you recommend to try get it out. I might go down by a machine buffer as hand doing it all doesnt seem to get very far. Edited February 10, 2006 by E30stz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiss 1 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Yeah I noticed the same on mine as well and it wouldnt come out. Basically the paint is faded every else on the car except there so I dont think there is much you will be able to do about it cheaply. I just stuck my badge back on lol.

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 recomend setting up a situation where some member of the public drives into your boot and you get it fixed and resprayed for free Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bem-on 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) Give it a cut and polish. go 1500 grit then 2000 grit wet sand with cutting compound. When sanding use a soft sanding block and let the paper do the work don’t apply to much force, the lighter the better. After the 1500 do the same with 2000 grit, buff and polish.

*sic 1 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 prepsol wont do anything to help the colour difference its just a solvent for "preping" surfaces.. only thing you can do is repaint in a matching colour to the rest of the car, or full respray.. i vote full respray!
