QUESTION: 2006 CLS 500

I'm looking to remove the CLS 500 emblem from the back of my car.
My question is this: If I remove the chrome badge, what will the paint look like underneath it?
Has anyone had experience removing badges from their cars of 6 years or older?
I have this bad feeling that if I remove the chrome badge there's going to be like a faded outline
that you'll still be able to see and it'll look worse than actually have the badge.

Has anyone done this with older model benzes and had any experience?
If I take it off should I be prepared to have it repainted or what? Thanks guys

Depends on color and sun fade.

Red may have a fade, black may not.

Remove emblem, polish paint w/ a buffer, see if there is a outline.

If there is fade - repaint or re-install emblems.
