I can't paint them because I'm afraid if I will break them. I tried painting them with a paintbrush but the emblem is made out of rubber and every time I hand wash it the paint will just come off.

carefully light sand it down and use spray can paint. after it dry spray couple coats of clear coat on top. the original badge is black just letting you know bc once in awhile the paint on the badge will peel and i can see black color underneathe.

you can soften the adhiesive on the badge with heat either a heat gun or blow dryer. not direct heat then some goo b gone and a gentle even pull will remove the badge without breaking or cracking the clear plastic...
it is a dommed plastic so any sanding will need to be light with a 2000 or higher wet dry paper...personally I wouldnt..you can use alcohol to clean and prep for paint.(stay away from more agressive chemicals) in the sign shop they do use a sign painters paint which is very pricy for brush or airbrushing on metal ,wood and plexi surfaces but with plastics we use krylon paints , either fuson or even the basic krylon is great with plasics..does not require primmer,,just lite coats and allow to dry b4 the second then use a the krylon clear... we have found that krylon will stretch and flex with plastics which is where rustoleom will splinter and flake...
