Default Quick Berger panel question

How do I take the Z28 off without screwing something up? What do I need to put it back on? Thanks in advance.

my guess would just be to heat up the badge with a hair dryer or something and just get fishing line and put it behind the emblem and just "saw" through the glue. then to put it back on just get some doubstick tape

I'm repainting it though, so would that matter?

Anyhow, The panel and the badge survived the butter knife with no ill effects, and I'm now almost done with the painting.

It'll only matter if you would have put 'deep' scratches in it...then you would have had to block sand it with a bit of highbuild filler primer.

Post pics once its complete.
