Painting the Chevy badges

I'm thinking about painting my Chevy badge on the front and back (or maybe just putting a "SS" badge on front 'cause it looks pretty sick). The question I had was what is good to use to reapply the badges to the car?
Thanks guys

The front is held in by a couple little nuts. The rear one is held on by automotive double-sided tape.. just pick up some 3M double-sided tape from your local auto store.

With nuts??? How do you get it off then? Will there be holes?

I'm thinking about painting mine black with a red outline. I saw it once and it looked really cool.

PS- Cobalt_Driver, looks nice. I like the CF look when it's done well like that

The front chevy logo, is bolted on, with every model. You need to open the hood and wrench off the 2 bolts.
The rear logo is stuck on with tape. Use fishing line to get it off then clean it up with goo-gone.

Also I would not buy the SS logo from 24designs.net if you plan on putting it on the front. It fits horribly and doesnt stick very well. It would work fine on the rear though.
