XKR rear Boot badge

[Spyderromeo]

I  posted about this before when enamel paint would not stick, and nail varnish was suggested. Well, before I tried the nail varnish, I found a new one at £1,59 on Temu, compared with what may have been an OEM part on eBay at £58.00, i.e. 36 times cheaper. So I bought a few and they are as near as I can tell, absolutely the same; they are good castings, good chrome, good colours and exactly the same size. So they look like a good replacement. Now my only problem is how to get the old ones, which are totally without original colour, off ! Anybody got any wonderful ideas? My initial reaction was to delicately nick away at the bond (which seems like a hard plastic, rather than a double-sided tape that is normal) it off using a scalpel. I know I would have to be very careful and mask off all around to prevent collateral damage. It seems it will need such care that I thought I would throw it open to all you wonderful experts to see if there are any other ideas?

Use a piece of dental floss or thin fishing line, slide it behind and then using a to and fro motion slowly proceed from one end to the other. You will cut through the backing without damaging the paintwork. Then use a mild solvent to remove the excess on the panel.

Make sure you mark where the badge sits first.
