How to remove 2012 c63 rear badge?

As the title, how do I remove the c63 and amg badge? As well as the rear Benz logo. I wanna spray them matte black and I don't know how do I put them back on once I take them off. Do I have to use glue or something? I'm afraid that if glue them back I might not be able to put them to the exact same place as they were. Help me plzzzzz thanks=]

Hair dryer is your friend. Apply hot air for a while then it's easy to remove them.

Heat badge and body panel with a hairdryer to help soften the double sided adhesive tape that holds the badge in place.
Use something like dental floss or thin fishing line to slide behind the badge and pull down while gently sawing back and forth to remove the badge.
Clean up the residual adhesive on the body with a car friendly cleaner. I use detailer lubricant though many use a citric based cleaner.
Clean the back side of the badge as well.
Use double side adhesive tape to resecure it to the body.

Side note:
Mask the area before you remove the badge so you can reposition it back in the correct location

Does the floss work with the rear Benz logo? I heard that its a bit complicated to remove that one. I heard that u have to remove it from the inside

The logo has three tabs and be gentle when you pull because it bends easily. U can push it from the inside of the trunk but you have to remove the inside cover of the trunk, same way as if you were changing your license plate bulbs
