Mike, I have a friend who owns a body shop not far from my house. I walk over and visit once in awhile. We had this same discussion. I lost a letter off the rear of the roadster, so I peeled the rest off and debadged it. I was trying to get the glue off when I scratched the paint. I thought damn, now I will have to get the trunk lid painted. Took it across the street to show him my damage, and said, you didn't ruin it. In 5 minutes, with his buffer, it was back to new, better than before. In right hands they can do really great things to the paint...He will buff both my cars real soon...it lasts all summer as long as I keep them clean...
