Default GOO-Gone?

Hi I have a 91 accord and want to debage the accord emblem and trim emblem. I was just wondering, since my car is 16 years old, wouldnt the paint under the emblem be a lighter one than the paint around it since it wasnt exposed to all the sunlight.

This is keeping me from debadging my car, dont want white squares--dont plan on painting anytime soon also.

THANKS!

ok 2nd question, how noticeable would the shade be? My car is frost white, could i maybe wetsand the area very softly to dull it a little or blend in the already dulled paint?

^^^The only way you will know is if you take it off. I wouldn't wet sand it unless you have experience in buffing and wetsanding cars. You will smack your self later haha. Any kind of goo gone or similar product should take off any residue that was left by or around the baddge and color match it pretty well. White is one of the easier colors to hide things like scratches and so on (unlike the oppsoite black) . Just keep it clean and use good wax (cleaner wax).
