[Spits] Spitfire IV emblems

[Joe Curry]

You should be able to get them off intact but even if you break one or both
pegs off, you can still use them again by applying 3M body trim tape.
Actually, that is a better way to install those badges anyway.  They seal
better and protect the holes from rust because the pegs tend to rattle
around in the holes and chip the paint off exposing the edges to the
elements.

How can I safely get the Spitfire IV emblems off the hood and rear fenders
so that I can paint the car and then put them back on?
They look like a part cast out of cheap metal and have two pegs that go
through the body work and are secured is some way.From the back these pegs
look like blind rivets that haven't been compressed.
