So I wanted to paint my rear GTI badge black to match the black/orange theme I'm working with. I went to autozone and asked someone there to point out an adhesive that would hold well, come off without too much effort should I need to repaint due to a chip, and, of course, not damage the paint.
He suggested I use this 3M Plastic Emblem & Trim Adhesive. The tube is black and the outer package shows a picture of a guy putting an unidentifiable emblem on a red truck.
I used the adhesive and after about an hour decided I wanted to reposition the bade (perfectionist). When I removed the badge, I found that the adhesive had burned through the paint in a couple places, right down to the primer. Where it hadnt eaten through, it had caused the paint to rise due to some kind of chemical reaction.
Don't let this happen to you! Use something else, like double sided tape.
