Default Removing Dealer Badging

I want to remove the dealer badge from the rear of the car, without damaging the paint. It's a thin metal badge, most likely stuck on with a adhesive backing. I was thinking of heating the badge up with a heat gun and carefully removing it. What do you think?

heat it up is fine and then use dental floss. The dental floss is coated and will not hurt your paint. It is also so small it fits between the badge and the body of the car no problem. Use a little adhesive remover to get rid of the goo and touch it up with a little cleaner and wax and your set.

Use Goo-Gone for the after affects of the sticky adhesive. I used it when I swapped for the Fairlady Z emblem; worked just great.
