Default Nose Emblem Removal

I want to replace the Chevy emblem on the nose of the Camaro- the red white and blue one. How should I go about removal of the old emblem?

heat gun on low indirect heat. If you allow the heat to stay on the paint, you may damage the finish. Try holding a heat gun (in the on/low heat possition) about a foot or so from the emblem, after a few, it should heat up and come off with a little help. Or you can try and just peal it off.

Thanks for the reply Chappie. I dont have much experience with using a heat gun and I dont want to bubble my paint.....I might just heat it up a bit with the hair dryer then pry it off? Is it just stuck on with adhesive?
