Taking off logs on '01 TL

Can anybody tell me how to take off all the chrome acura logos both in front of the car and the back?
And does the "3.2TL" pop off or is it glued on?

I want to paint all the chrome parts on my car black, and don't want to mess up and find out the hard way.

If could, please include pictures.

The front logo you have to take off the grill man. There is a DIY section for taking off the grill and there is a DIY section for debadgin the 3.2tl like you said. So check the DIY section

the rear badges are really easy....and like mentioned above theres a DIY section that shows u how..the only thing u cant remove is the "A" on the trunk becuz it leaves holes..the rest of them are on there with some kinda tape..u might have to buff pretty hard becuz if u dont when the light hits it u can sumtimez still see the ACURA and the 3.2TL..i forgot that until i seen it days later..

sunny day/heat gun, goo gone, fishing string/dental floss and some polish if you're anal about stuff.

shouldnt take more than half an hour if you work it right. oh and if you wear gloves to prevent the string from cutting into your hand, make sure it's not meshy or sharp. i saw someone do that and got a nice set of scratches

Too bad no one makes a black chrome kit for the car because I would really like to replace all of the chrome (including around the windows) with black chrome.
