I am painting the lower part of boot lid on the Skoda, estate badly chipped before me. Width of car and about four inches high. I have removed the Skoda badge using dental floss as I am too miserable to buy new. I have made a template to give me the position on re fitting.

Anyone have advice on re fixing them to paintwork? The double side tape I have is too thick and it will show under the badge. Superglue sounds too severe and might affect the paint.

Double sided foam tape. You can buy 3M stuff, or similar from the DIY sheds,

Thanks, purchased from Screwfix and car now painted, lacquered and badges refitted. Hardest part was trimming the tape to the letters, used wife’s chopping board and held scalpel blade at a slight angle to undercut the tape

Template made a good job of position and alignment , well pleased with result
