Mitch, my fenders were painted both times i put on the trim.......paint was 1 yr old when i replaced them with new emblems, the second time i did the emblem thing was when i had both fenders & hood painted becase of some stone chips......car sat over winter, paint was six months old.
I was a little nervous about doing it the second time, but it came out ok........i losened the bolt on the top of the fender, and took off the two on the bottom, i couldn"t get my arm up at all , but my wifes fit under there but it still is a PITA to get the speed nuts on there right because you cant see anything , be careful when tightening down the nuts also.
If i had to do this again, i would try using the inserts they sell and see how that goes.........the worse that can happen then is the emblem falls out, your only out $30 bucks..........start chipping paint by pulling on the fender......thats a little more costly.
good luck
Also if you do go the insert route, how about a pic, ive never seen one with that setup.
