Emblem Replacement - Scratches

[RUFFSTUFF]

HYPOTHETICALLY.... If you were to get some scratches front and rear swapping emblems, what's a good way to fix them...?

Paint correction - compound/polish.

I had lots of very small fine scratches from the dental floss around the Kia emblems. When I removed the small Stinger emblem it left a shadow of the old logo. A very small amount of rubbing compound on a micro fiber cloth removed all of the scratches as well as the shadow, it didn't take much for me just a few minutes by hand. Car looks so much better with the KDM badges.

I got the front one off today and you reckon that wasn’t fun?
That grey adhesive is a nightmare to get it to lift and I reckon there wouldn’t be one person alive who doesn’t put a scratch on the body no matter how meticulous.

I hope it grows on me with the big “E.”

I don't know why you guys had so much trouble with the tape. I could just roll it off the paint with a little rubbing with gloves.

That's what she said.

LMAO just asking this means you shouldnt touch your emblems.....

"If I change my own oil and have a leak what should i do?"

Some people aren't afraid of asking questions. Keep laughing and find the time to go back to crying about your tunes...

Quixx works great.

I use this:

Had it just in case for my Audi and only used it once in 4 years.
Have had my GT2 for 2 weeks and already used it a bunch for clearcoat scuffing. The clearcoat paint is so soft it's sad. Come on KIA......

Totally agree with that, coming from an Audi the paint is terrible on my Stinger GT. I have had to buff out many scratches in the clearcoat and have had more than 30 small chips on bumpers, hood and rocker panels that I have had to fill with touchup paint. My Stinger is only 7 months old with 6k miles! It's getting to the point where I may end up complaining to Kia about this. My Audi A6 was 6 years old with 120k miles and had about the same amount of paint issues my Stinger already has. I love the Stinger in every way except the paint job, Kia dropped the ball on it.

I've had my Stinger for 11 months with 14K miles, mostly highway miles. No major issues with my snow white pearl paint and "only" 6 noticeable, but tiny chips on my front bumper.

Easy solution, enjoy the stock badges

Several thousand miles no paint issues, is not like all Stingers have paint issues. If you are so anal about paint rock chips put some nice PPF.
