I did the same thing to my emblems, although the GMC emblems take a bit more prep than the Chevy emblems. If you haven't already done so, you should put a couple coats of the Glosifier to prevent it from fading.

I masked them off. The rear emblem is attached with double sided tape and the front is held in place with clips. I read about some people removing the front emblem without taking apart the grill, but I didn't have any luck doing it.

 

This is where I learned how to do mine:

Very durable Ed. I did the front and rear emblems on my 2013 Malibu shortly after I got it new, it now has just shy of 30,000 miles on it. The emblem still looks just about like I'd just sprayed it. Looks even better with a shot of In & Out Spray or some SVRT. A smashed bug left on too long will stain it a bit, ask me how I know that...

 

Best thing about this stuff is if you don't like it, or tire of the look, it peels right off.
