Will there be any fading behind the badges or will there be any visible outline once the badges have been removed?

i found that you may need ot put some good old elbow grease in with the wd40 to remove the excess sticky crap but nothing extreme and once thats gone cant tell the difference

heres mine

There's no chance of the hairdryer damaging the paint is there through excessive heat?
