Its possible that with your car being as old as it is, that it could have some paint fading which obviously did not affect the paint under the old badge.

Your paint certainly looks clean and polished, so you may be stuck with it.

buff or not its different color altogether because the rest of the car faded and under there there was no sun hitting it for 10 yrs lol.

i actually do like it too, only if the whole B was there, the end part of the B must have broken off as soon as he got it and that part did see sun and that doesn't look all that good, but its not that bad, because when i did gt the car it took me a whole week to notice that the part was missing.
