Default How to put badges back on after painting....

Sounds like a horribly dumb question, but what adhesive is everyone using?

Thanks in advance.

the badges come with the adhesive backing like a sticker.

Just make sure the paint is clean of polish etc prior to sticking it on...

Default Thanks, but I'm actually going to put the old ones back on...

after I spray them with tint to get a black chrome effect. So I wonder what I should use to maximal effectiveness.

Thanks in advance!

Default Something by 3M...

or just buy new badges, I did the same for my S4 last week and the rear badge cost 6.50GBP - cheaper than buying adhesive (almost)

I use 3M double sided foam tape (thinnest that you can find)...cut it to fit the badge

Default Go to a hobby shop and get "servo tape"...

they are super thin and very sticky.
