How can I affix brass to painted aluminum? It'll be a rather small and detailed logo, and I want it to eventually be removable without having to get in there with a chisel.

A drop of superglue would also work, although there's no guarantee it wouldn't peel the paint. It'll be taking a lot of abuse (as in, it'll be grafted to the side of a paintball gun I'll be hefting through brambles and covering in mud), but I might want to remove it later, too. I was hoping for something you could easily remove with solvent. Oh well... if it might damage the paint, I'll just attach them to a removable/replacable bit, like a barrel. Just a Warhammer 40K pet project of sorts- I want to add brass aquilas-  like that, but smaller- Onto the body or barrel of this-  A lot of people add stupid paintball company stickers and stuff like that to their markers, and I was going for something different but still cool.

Thumposaurus posted:3M makes a double sided tape that is used for sticking molding and emblems onto cars it is about as thick as scotch tape and super strong. You should be able to find it at an auto parts store. If it works for cars it'll probably work for me- thanks. If I like it I'll probably glue them on anyways, but it's good to know a viable removable alternative.
