   Its such a pain to debadge saxo's as some of the lettering has pins, ive filled them in and painted over the filler, but you can still see a slight dip, anyone know how to get a perfect job?

   wouldn't you end up having to respray whole boot though, cos i would imagine unlikely to get exact colour match? correct me if im wrong

   Yes you most likely would. Thats why i rekon just keep them on. They look good imo. Im not a fan of boot smoothes on saxo's or de-badging of the rear, just isnt worth it

   get a bit of t-cut and rub the silver off, easy and effective, better than spraying me thinks!

    as said above, to do it properly they need to be welded up, grind the weld, minimal amount of filler then ideally spray the whole boot

    Weld them up then grind the weld smooth then apply filler (little) as possible then sand till you think its smooth...
    
    Then get boot resprayed..
