Question - emblem removal before paint

[1_Rocketman]

What's the easiest/best way to remove the emblems before having the car painted?

I have new emblems already, but at some point I'll probably spend some time to restore the existing ones if I can and keep them.

Great question! I bought them so long ago, I don't remember. They are tucked away in a plastic bin along with other things I've been collecting in preparation for the day when I'd have time to actually dive into it. I'll take a look when I get a chance and see if I still have the details. It's been about 10 or so years if I remember correctly and I bought a full set for the entire car.

...just a follow-up to your question babbyk.....I bought a complete set of emblems from Car Motorsports back in 2013....I don't think they are in business anymore....
