Removed old Decals but now need to match paint colour (1 Viewer)

[Pebble99]

Last week I removed all the side decals from my 2014 Globecar PVC as they were too sun damaged for my liking. The paint colour that was under the decal is brighter than the rest (since it has been covered from the sun and not therefore oxidised). I know that a few of you have already removed some/all of their decals, so I am wondering how other folks managed to colour match the paintwork. Before I go and buy some sort of cutting product, I wanted to first check. Would it be easier to t-cut the non decal paintwork to brighten it up or try to reduce the colour of the ex decal paintwork? I have attached a pic so that you can see the colour differences.
