Logo emblem peeling on hood

[Anonymous]

I have an older Range Rover and the emblem that spells out the car brand on the front top of the hood is peeling. It is (was) a metallic silver-look finish. The emblem itself is securely adhered, it's just the metallic paint that is peeling, revealing the black lettering underneath.

Has anyone had this repaired? I have found some DIY kits, either to paint the emblem or completely replace it, but I am NOT handy. Anyone have this done at an autobody shop? Curious how pricy it may be.

It's just a heat fix decal.

A heat fix decal looks like a sticker so I don’t quite understand. The issue is peeling metallic paint or wrap lifting off of raised lettering affixed to the hood. The letters are adhered properly to the car, it’s the coloring on the raised letters that is wearing away.

Has anyone had this fixed at an auto body shop or with a detailer perhaps?

While you could buy new letters, I would probably start with a detailer who advertises paint correction to avoid taking them off and affixing other letters that may or may not stay on. How old is the Range Rover?

Paint pen the letters?
There's probably kits to refurb letters also.

How has it been mechanically? What model?

This happened on my old Saab as well. At least the metallic was shiny underneath (not helpful, I know)

Replace with one of these. Easy adhesive instructions:
