So after removing the emblems and painting them or dipping them, what did everyone use to put them back on???

I sprayed the emblems directly on the car, the plasti dip when dried just rubs right off if you gently rub your finger over it or a micro fiber towel and does not damage the clear coat. Before you spray just be sure to wash the area with soap and water and some rubbing alcohol and use painters tape to tape off an area around it so you can get a decent amount to pull up and gently pull away from emblems.

like farpetrad said just make sure to leave some room taped off around the emblems and you won't need to rub at all, with enough coats it will just peel up like a really weak sticker but without the residue kinda like a latex glove.
