Emblem take off and replacement

So I purchased some plasti dip yesterday and some clear coat. I plan on pasti dipping my grill, and/or my stock 2004 base tl rims. I found a DIY on how to remove the emblems on the rear (e.g., Acura emblem, "A", and TL emblem). How do I go about putting them back on my car? Is there a special glue used? Or double sided tape?

Help???

Double sided tape available at any auto parts store .. just trim to shape... wipe the area to be taped with IPA so it has a clean surface.

If you're using Dip, no reason to remove the emblems. Mask off the surrounding areas, spray, then go along the edges of the emblems with a toothpick and then pull the dip up. It breaks on edges very nicely. IMHO just remove Acura and TL. If somebody looks at the car and doesn't know it's an Acura TL they probably don't care anyways, I prefer a smooth look. I took the A off but found there's 2 holes there so I put it back on but I would prefer to have no badges.

I left all the emblems and symbols on and dipped them. Waiting for the final coat to dry so I can it all. So far it looks fantastic! I can't believe the good look for such a cheap price! The worst part about it just waiting for each coat to dry!
Thanks everyone for the help!
One day I might decide to remove my "acura" and "tl" but as of today, they are dipped!
