You can find a roll of 3M double sided tape almost anywhere. Be sure to buy the dark gray kind, NOT the white one.

1. Remove
2. Sand well with emery cloth to scuff surface
3. Spray primer (1 coat > sand > another coat)
4. Spray with color of choice (2-3 coats)
5. Spray clear coat (if desired > good for sealing and longevity)
6. Re-apply badges
7. Stand back and consider painting another color.
Hope that helps
