How can I smooth this out? The 16-year-old glue from the emblems is killer.

Looks like you lost some lacquer there
 I think you need a machine polisher to get that looking good. Maybe go to a local paint shop, they shouldn't charge much to machine polish that little bit... You'll get much better results than trying to do it by hand. -------------------- |

Depending on the price, I may just do that. I have to re paint my driver side door handle because the first owner of my Celica was a very old man and apparently had a very hand time getting the key into the key hole. I'm just glad the scratches were miraculously contained to the door handle. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
