May I ask how exactly it happened?
If you put some white behind it I bet no one would ever notice. |

imo it wouldve looked better if you covered the entire emblem from behind. creative way of masking it though.

I think it's pretty creative. You should do the same to the other emblem to keep it consistent.

Why not just plasti dip. It's stupid easy to remove the excess. Bit tedious but not hard lol. Nice save though!
