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:
