I'd Love to debadge, If you take a look at the last pic you would see that I did

The first time I took off the C230 part i used a hair dryer and dental floss so i peeled the c230 and it left a lot of residue glue

i peeled the residue and some paint chipped

the C230 covered the paint so I decided to paint black and replace to hide the paint chip

I think all the parts you plasti-dipped looks good, but the smoked side marker has got to go.
