How easy is this stuff to pop off? I really want to do this but I don't want to ruin anything. a DIY would be great. Does it have to be primed? What type of black paint would be the best? Like glossy, flat. I dunno. I shall attempt this one day soon

Hey Brown Bear, what kind of double sided tape did you use to put your rear emblem back on?

Only thing that has me debating about the front is that it looks like there's a huge hole in the grill from far.

The rears painted looks nice, but the front painted looks like there's a missing emblem from far away
