Debadging Suburban Trouble - What would you do?

[Fosscore]

Many thx guys for your input. I am pissed that I wanted it debadged and smooth, but not willing to have f**kd up paint by messing around with digging it out and the body shop swore up and down he would not touch a WDT paint job again as he had trouble blending it in the first place. At least the two dented scratches were fixed and it looks good. I have since found a better, more detailed body shop that works on some serious hot rods. Might have him shave my Tahoe tailgate as he knew exactly what I wanted and didn't miss a beat writing me up a proper detailed quotation after we talked shop for a bit. Too bad I didn't use him for the Suburban.

I went ahead and put the Z and N back on in place on the quarter panel and lift gate and put the SUBURBAN back on the driver's door. There were small imprints in the paint and it looked like the clear coat would come off when I started to pick at the edges gently, so I left it alone. Too much of an imprint to polish out either way. It took as much time to cut the new 3M double-sided tape on those little letters as it did to debadge and clean it first.

The passenger's side can likely be cleaned up and be left perfectly debadged, but not sure whether I want one side badged and the other side debadged. Damn OCD even though you will never see it at the same time. Kind of like rocking two different sets of wheels just to mess with people.

So I will probably just put all the letters back on and pretend it never even happened and move forward with something else. Ugghh.....
