Hair dryer and a plastic spatula takes 3-5 minutes tops. Clean up left over gum with Orange Gum Away. Paint is fine. You don't need much heat from the hair dryer.
Put a cooler Landcruiser Badge on it!Unfortunately when I removed mine there are 5 small scratches that were hidden by the badge. Was through the clear coat to deep to wet sand. Had to order factory touch up. Only damage on the entire vehicle and it to be hidden by the badge. If the touch up doesn’t look good I might plastic dip it and re install or find some other badge to cover it.

That's one of the better looking badges that anyone has added so far!
I bought that same badge, which is modeled after the chrome badges from the 80 series. I’m trying to decide which one to use. I like the authentic OEM version but the black matches better.

Black!
I did the same (but with Goo Gone) and had perfect results Maybe 15 minutes, and this was my first time doing this on any vehicle.
Now I am walking around assessing things I own to remove more badges, this is sort of addicting.
Set out to remove mine today and didn't go so well. After removing the badge with waxed dental floors, I used goo gone and a yellow micro fiber rag to remove left over adhesive. Suddenly the yellow dye of the rag absorbed into the clear coat and stained. It would not rub off!
Polishing compound by hand wouldn't touch it. Finally I had to break out the 2000 wet sand paper and spend another and then spend another hour with polishing compound and a orbital polisher. I think I got it out but it was a real scare.
I was surprised by how quickly anything would absorb into clear and stain. I've been removing badges from various vehicles the same way using microfiber and goo gone for many years, never had this happen.
I was working to frantically after it happened so didn't pause for good pics of the catastrophe.
But here's one and this doesn't make it look as bad as it was. It was horrid!

Oye, that’s rough. I heated mine up and didn’t even need dental floss—it lifted right off. I cleaned it lightly with denatured alcohol and that was that.Set out to remove mine today and didn't go so well.
