Thanks Tellefan, I need the good black stuff. I tried the scotch brand grey adhesive from Home Depot, but it didn't hold up.

I used the 3M to reattach the logo on the nose; it's held up very well for more than three months.

Did you clean it with MS and then DNA? I sell the resins that they dome those with and they use 3M, but there are different grades of the tape.

Most places mentioned have the gray 3M tape, which is fine, but it is a little thicker and therefore more challenging to cut if applying to intricate emblems.
NAPA has the thinner black double sided tape. It's about 1/2" wide. I used it to attach the running deer C-pillar emblems on my '96 Impala SS after three failed attempts with the gray tape.

Go to a automotive paint and body shop supplier - - - buy the 3M Black Part # 051131 / 06383 Automotive Acrylic Plus Black Attachment tape - - While you're at it also get some 3M Part #06396 Automotive Adhesive Promoter. I guarantee it will stay put. I tried some of that thinner stuff from NAPA and it would not hold.
