What to use to fasten a badge to the rear?

I just bought a replacement "Z28" badge for my rear bumper and I'm not sure what to use to mount it. I have some krazy glue here but I want to be able to remove the badge in a year or two to paint the car. I thought of double sided tape but wouldn't that come off when I wash the car? Ideas?

Hot glue gun is a great way to attach the emblem.

1001 other car and household uses also.

double sided tape will not come off at all unless you use a heat gun.... no washing will ever effect...
