Made a right mess when gluing my side repeater badge back on.

I've heard acetone works, although could remove the paint also.

The paint is 'hard' being bmw stuff and also has a coat of collinite 476s on. Tried scratching it off but as I lack fingernails (i bite them), I didn't manage to shift it.

Any other way to get it off, other than getting the are resprayed? It's only the cicular part that pops out around the repeater so not a big deal, but would rather not have to get it painted.

Would try get as much off with someone's nails. Wong doesn't come off try some thinners. If not then flat and polish.

Would of wiped off when wet Unfortunatly when wet with a cloth then polish the residue whilst wet.
