how did you get off the glue and how did u patch up the holes left by the metal clips?
paid a mobile touch up paint repair guy to fill holes and paint over it
he also light sanded then reclear coated the whole boot
cost me 160 bucks~! and i know this guy!~ wont be doing it again lets say~!
Theres a thread (it's a sticky too I think) dedicated to badge removal and so on.
Fishing line works to get it off, might have to weld up the hole, sand it and prepare it for painting again.
