How to attach emblem to exterior?

I got an emblem from ebay, and I'd really like to put it on my car. It is a round oval in shape.

Anyways, how do I attach this so it doesn't fall off? It had this brownish grey rubber stuff on the back that I scraped off... could I buy this stuff?

Lastly, will it stick well to primer?

you can use hardening gasket sealer, if you dont care too much about it coming back off lol. It dries to the same pasty, gooey consistency as the stuff that was on there from the factory.
P.S The primer car is his winter beater, an old corolla rolling in black primer with a hood scoop. Actually looks pretty cool.
