Default Blacked out emblems

I am blacking out my emblems but I have that stupid dealer tag on the back in white lettering. I totally forgot to tell them when I bought the truck not to put that on. I was just so excited to order my new truck that I forgot and now I have the dealership in white lettering under my F150 emblem.

My question is, does anyone know a way to get that lettering off without damaging the paint?

Thanks!

Use a bondo wedge if needed...or CC... Stay away from razor blades.

Use some heat and a piece of fishing string to get it off. then, goo gone, eraser wheel or whatever else you feel is best.
Good luck, hopefully it doesn't show where it was.

And next time you order or buy a new vehicle, tell the dealer you charge for advertisement; it won't be free. I informed the dealer I bought my used 2005 STX from that it was going to cost them free oil changes, or a couple of tanks of gas per month paid by them if there was any dealer advertisment on the truck.

When I picked it up, there was no dealer installed emblems/stickers....go figure.
