+ use a hairdryer to warm them up to help release the tape.

Agree! Just make sure the glue is soft enough and yes, use a hair dryier to warm it up.

Dental floss works pretty well with some GooGone for the residue.

I use a hair dryer and and fingernail polish remover for the leftover sticky. Just make shire you get the glue good and hot or it will pull paint with it.

I wouldn't recommend fingernail polish remover. It has a lot is acetone and will severly dry out the paint. Goo gone would be a lot safer.

I used fishing line and a hair dryer to warm up the glue behind em, here's another tip the glue is actually works quite well, if you leave it on ur car and the back of ur emblem you can reheat it up and stick them back on.

you can check my album where I have pics of my emblems I repainted.

I have a set of these trim tools, they're $10 at Harbor Freight. Most Super Street & D Sport mags have a coupon for there too. They are plastic so there is less danger of scratching the paint like a metal tool will. Great for interior panels also:

I'd probably mask the surrounding area with blue masking tape too.
