Is it the glue from the decal, or is the rest of the paint faded around it? If its the glue it will come off with a good cleaning solution and some elbow grease. If the paint is faded try and buff it out.

yea its just the paints faded. I used that 3M adhesive remover to see if it was the adhesive but that didnt work. Do you think a clay bar could smooth it out. the tailgate hasnt been claybarred yet so

I've never used a clay bar, so alls I can say is to give it a try.

I'd say try the clay bar and give your truck a good waxing. that should work
