Default Removing Emblems?

Id like to repaint my F150 emblems on the fenders and tailgate but im not exactly sure how they come off. Has anyone takin them off before? Is it just taped/glued on or is there holes drilled in the fenders/tailgate for them?

Pretty sure that the tailgate is just 2 sided tape and the fender emblems are installed thru 2 holds in the fenders.

Tailgate and fenders are 2 prongs and adhesive....hairdryer/heatgun and goo gone will do you good.

The Ford Ovals are the same on the rear w/o the pegs and the front one is just 2 bolts.

Yeah, I put different badges on mine and there really not that hard to take off but when you pull them off your going to have to replace the double sided tape that holds them on. Just pick up some 3M and reapply like they were. Heat gun and a set of hands is all you need.
