we have some good painters on here, maybe they will chime in, take a pic and post it up, you may be able to do a little wet sanding and polishing and blend it a little

Took my badges off the 06' and had my painter just buff the area the badges were Can't see them at all now. It looked terrible until I had buffed. Here's a picture.

Red is a color that fades in the sun and light.

The paint is probably over 6 years old at this point and there is bound to be some pigment fading.

Clean it up the best you can, and you will probably be the only person that will see it.

Or get yourself some custom decals made and just cover up the faded areas.

after I debadged had the same issue with the flame red if you have buffed it and waxed let it sit in the sun the colors will blend and you wont notice it in a couple week (if ya get enough sun)

Cool Ghost Letters, not as cool as ghost flames:elefant:

I did the same thing this weekend. I tried to buff it out with no luck. It gets Hot here in Texas so maybe in time the ghost efffect will go away. I have a red 04. I am looking for a good touch up guy as well, Have a few rock chips and a couple of scratches in the bed I want taken care of. I am in the Mckinney Texas area. Thanks.

i'll save you the aggravation....

paint your tailgate....trust me, it's not worth all the buffing and waxing, and all that crap...it ain't gonna come back...the red is the worst to fade...

should only be a couple hundred bucks from a decent paint shop....

Man, I have never seen it like that. I was thinking it can't be too bad, but, that is pretty bad lol. As I see it, you have 3 options. 1) leave it as-is, it looks like ghost writing. Those up close will see what it is "An SRT/10", those a far won't, that's a good thing. But, it depends how bad it is in person. Last thing you won't is for it to look like you just couldn't be arsed fixing it. Only in person can one tell if it looks like that way, that's your call. 2) repaint the entire tail gate or get a good painter to blow over it. Me personally, I'd do the entire tailgate. The guy has the paint in/matched, things masked, the truck is there, so it's not going to cost a hell of a lot more to do the entire gate. 3), paint the emblems and put them on or simply just put theback on and leave it stock. I like option 2.

Dude, I went though this with my 1st one, leave it alone and in about 6 months you won't see $#!*.

 

[viperhauler]

it's been 5 months...and you can still tell a huge difference...on mine and i don't park mine in the garage....maybe the sun fades it differently around the country....:dontknow:
