Default Removing Emblems?

So how do you all go about this without f*ckin' up your paint... putting some old skool z/28 and camaro emblems on and need the paint to be bling bling in areas of the old emblems. thanks

Try using dental floss to run under it. Works pretty well surprisingly. Or if you are careful, you can slide a razor blade under it.

use a hairdryer to warm up the glue, then you can slide some fishing line to break up the glue and the emblem should come off pretty easily. Then clean off and wax where the emblem was.

Exactly how I did it and also used turtle wax bug and tar remover to get off the excess glue. Wipes right off.

I had to take the McCarthy Chevrolet emblem off the back of my car and I did this to get that crap off.

Carefully pull the emblem off, dental floss worked good. Get some Goo Gone put it on a cloth towel and start rubbing. I also used a sponge with HOT water to lossen it up after I rubbed it down with Goo Gone. I just started picking away at the crap with my finger nail and a razor blade (extremely careful)
