I just took off my 350z emblem on the hatch and used goof-off. i took off the clearcoat around the 350z emblem. what should i do? can i just leave it like that?

 

There is a different between goo-gone and goo-off. Goo-gone is a mild petroleum based distillate. If the clearcoat is gone, you cannot put it back.

 

I dont want to hijack this thread but I was about to post a question about Clearcoat

I am buying touchup paint, i noticed you dont get clearcoat, where would I get some?

 

Check the detailing forum about two-part touch-up kit.

 

thank you sir

 

is it bad to leave that section not clearcoated? it will not rust or anything right?

 

It won't rust but you won't have as much paint protection as before.

To everyone else that reads this thread - do NOT put Goof-Off on your paint. From the Valspar website:

Goof Off®

The Ultimate Remover for dried paint! This well-known solvent product removes dried paint as well as adhesive, sticker residue, gum, crayon,
tar, oil, marker, pen, lipstick, scuff marks, candle wax, grease and much more! Available in a wide variety of liquid sizes as well as a convenient aerosol.



Goo-Gone is what you use to remove adhesive or other sticky residue.

 

I just used rubbing alcohol and let it soak. Removed the left over sticky stuff. Then I washed it, claybar the area, and then waxed it. Looks great.

nm i cant find it.... i used the search button and all.... all i found out is that sometimes the touchup paint doenst look right =\

 

should i spray some clear coat on it???

 

I wouldn't. Unless you know what you're doing, it probably won't match and it will look obvious that it's been touched up. Take it to a body shop.
