If the red is showing through the paint, most likely the paint is not sticking to where the eclipse letters were. That means most likely there was still some residue from the stickers when you painted it. Make sure you wet sand with soapy water to clean the sticker residue off real good. Try any type of polish, buffing that piece is hard, and I didn't buff mine because the rotary buffer is too hard to fit on that small angled piece.
