Use gas to remove emblem glue???
I'm putting a new Z emblem on the side and just wondering if using gas to remove the old glue from the paint will damage it. I would rather use something else if it were not as harsh on the paint. Thanks!

Sure...you can use gas. Just have someone lined up to repaint it in the spot you used it.

You something less agressive. I would try a blow dryer and a little bit of rubbing.

re:
Dont use brake cleaner. I saw people use brake cleaner before and it damaged there paint. Then again. The kid that did that painted his whole car with a brush and 1 gallon off light blue paint by hand -
