Here's a little write-up I did for my thread...
Same process for the front emblem also.
Of course you could sand and prime the emblem, but so far mine has held up for 2+ years now.
This has to be one of the easiest mods out there.

One "Scion" rear emblem...
One can of Dupli-Color Engine Enamel... (Choose a color of your liking.)
One can of Dupli-Color Acrylic Lacquer...
One Metallic Silver Sharpie...
Quick recap of the painting process;
1. Wash emblem in soapy water. Let dry.
2. Use paint and apply 4-5 LIGHT coats. Let dry completely before adding another coat.
3. Use lacquer the same way as the paint. (Refer to step 2.)
4. Color in "SCION" lettering with Sharpie pen. Have some Windex and a micro fiber cloth handy incase you "color outside the lines".
Your finished product should look like this...
That's all there is to having a sweet looking rear Scion/tC emblem!!
Good job!! You've earned that beer!!

To re-apply, you have many options. You could use a clear silicone, gorilla glue, or double sided adhesive tape. I would go with the tape. (In case you want to take it off again.) Just make sure to get the tape that is dark grey in color. It's a PITA to cut the tape to fit the emblem but well worth it in the end.
