Default Debadging & Paint color

I started debadging my salsa red pearl Sequoia, and noticed a difference in paint color under the emblems. The paint under the emblem looks slightly orange compared to the rest of the paint.

Has anyone else seen this. Does it go away on it's own? Will waxing or buffing help?

Thanks,
Ken

2003 Phantom Grey--built in Sep '02 and debadged in July '03--no difference in colour under the badges.

Isn't red a notorious colour for fading?

I did notice specks of surface rust acround the badges. Without the badges, it's much easier to clean now.

Unhappy

The color under the badges seemed more "faded" than the rest of the paint. I'm assuming it was caused by applting them before the paint was fully cured.

Most of the difference has faded, I just hope it continues to.

Please HELP!

After removing the SR5 badges on the side, it seems a patch of clearcoat has also come off. At first I thought it was adhesive, so I used Goof Off to try and remove. Now I realize it is a patch of removed clearcoat the size of a quarter that is very noticable. Question: Is there a product or process to applyrepair the clearcoat finish to this size gap in my clearcoat. I hate the way it looks, and like most of us, am probably the only one who really notices.

You could always put the emblems back on to cover it.

sorry to hear about both of your debadging incidents. this is the first that i've heard of this on a sequoia. i've seen it on very old cars where the badges have been removed, but not on a car so new. on the different colors, hopefully after a couple of good detailing jobs the colors will blend. in regards to the clearcoat, i have no idea. could you add clearcoat to that area? sorry i wasn't much help.
