Do it yourself... just need to be careful with overexposure with the heat gun. This is not something you should go to a dealership for, unless you're made of money...

I would just cover the whole area behind the emblem with gloss white vinyl. The logo breaks it up from the rest of the paint so the color difference won't really be noticeable to people unless they look for it.
I'm not really big on camo. I guess that's what happens when you wear it to work every damn day haha

Not trying to be a ****, but you're worried about the paint with in that same frame I see another chip and dead bugs everywhere.
The camo looks tacky. I would take it off. |

This is how bad it is. There are no other chips outside the inside of the badge. Please cry more because I haven't washed my car since the last time I drove it.
