Question HELP...(paint guys)

ok...so i debadged the car...and came to notice the drivers door was repainted at some point...and the emblem wasnt removed when it was done...now theres a little edge around where the ss emblem was...how could i fix this?...without taking it to a body shop!!?! can it be wet sanded out? there isnt a really big build up...but its maybe the thickness of a piece of paper.

I guess you can carefully wet sand it off and then get some GM touch up paint.

it would just be easier to wet sand the whole door and repaint. get a local garage to paint it if your not comfortable of course might be 100 bucks or so but like i said show a picture

wet sand the edge with a block and 2,000 grit CAREFULLY. Just to get it flush. Then buff it back to a shine. Who doesnt remove an emblem when repainting a door?
