Badge removal and putting it back on. help

[Tamoshanter]

I want to remove the badge/emblem, repaint it so it looks like this and then put it back on.

My worry is getting it right when putting it back on. How do i make sure its absolutely straight and spaced evenly

Place 2 strips of masking tape on the bootlid above and below the badges before you remove the badges. Use them as a guide when you refit. The tape will also help prevent damage to the bootlid when you prise the badges off.

Also use a pencil and set square to mark the start and end of each number/letter onto the masking tape

Also as others have said...... plus its a good idea to heat each letter with a hairdryer to soften the glue which makes removal a lot easier and allows the glue to be re-used.
