So, I have just bought a second hand badge as above as I want to spray the lion and chrome surround.
As I don't want to break it what is the correct way to separate the Chrome parts from the black backing part of the badge?
Thank you in advance for your help.

you need to gently push the tags apart behind and pull it off a bit at a time be careful of the tail on the lion though as that pushes in tight and is very easy to break off!!

No worries.. Thats the reason I have three differant colours 
Go to your local scrappy and get a couple of sets, firstly to see how they are attached to the grill and secondly to practice spraying on.
