please help!

i peeled it off the old emblem and there was that glue type stuff underneath i spent around a hour getting the chunks off and there is like a brown outline of the glue i messed up my paint in a spot so i covered that with the new emblem but i have a part of the brown glue stuff sticking out its flat with the paint and i want to get rid of it but i dont know how i dont want to f*** my paint up. any tips??? please help!!!

yeah that stuff is quite potent.
I am sorry to say odds are slim that you will get that hard stuff off with out damaging the paint.
Best I can tell you is some " Goof-Off " or " Goo Gone " and a very steady, gentle hand with a rasor blade.

Good luck

the emblem is the explorer one not the ford logo deal

monmix- i got all the big hard stuff off but now its just like the glue that is about even with the paint. smooth with no lumps.

Try like 2000 grit wetsand very carefully

isnt the explorer emblem snapped in, if i remember right my parts rig is missing it and there is 2 holes where it was, also i removed all of the emblems on my intrepid, they were glued on, i used a plastic drywall knife, a heat gun, rubbing alchohol and a bunch of rubbing, it comes off but leaves your paint looking dull, pull out the wax and it'll look fine.

The holes are nothing more than alignment holes. The emblems are stuck on.

id rather have an emblem then holes in my truck JMO

yah i covered the holes with the new badge the car domain link in my sig has pics i dont know how to post pics on here if you look you can see it, its not excessive its just flat glue that will probly come off eventualy. and thanks for the help will keep this updated. but check the link so you can see what im talking about.
