be sure to use the 3M double sided tape that is specifically made for automotive accessories.

I'd check to see if Plastidip makes a gold color and then you can just 'paint' them on the vehicle.

after you pull the emblems its best to scuff with a 1000-1200 grit fine paper, clean, spray 2-3 coats color, 2-3 coats clear, waiting a couple of hours in between. ive had mine on for a couple of years and barely got a rock chip the other day.
