where to go for paint job?

sup y'all..
u noe how we have the blue dotted FiT emblems on the trunk..well..last night i was trying to remove it..i peeled it off bare hands and it left a nasty adhesive mark..so today i tried a combination of solutions water/oil based and some paper towels...not only didn't work, it left a huge scratched mess..not very happy and looks disastrous
was wondering where i can have it repainted...any recommendations? shouldn't be too expensive
thanks

How about buying a red emblem to put it over the scratch?

^^^ Yeah, try that. If not, try some polishing compound...may take awhile depending on how deep the scratch is. Never use paper towel on your finish...try a micro fiber cloth or a terry cloth instead.

for future reference...
1. do not use paper towels on a cars paint.
2. do not use "solutions" that are not safe for clearcoat finishes.
3. simple use of your finger, pressure and a back and forth rubbing motion would have removed the adhesive backing.
4. meguires scratch-x and a microfiber towel might solve your problem.
