So the pins broke off the back of the emblem. I wouldn't use super glue.

I would probably use epoxy if I wasn't going to try to find an emblem that's not damaged

If purchase an emblem that is mint or refurbished what type of glue would you use?

Just use two-sided Gorilla tape.

Clean the emblem and use a little bit silver paint to repaint the letters. if you use a magnifying glass you will see that it's going to be a nice emblem again.. and easy now it's off!  Use a very small brush.. with little paint at the time.

Few drops of silicone to put it back. (Take off the door, so you can lay it flat on it's back to let the silicone dry.)

This is the best I found for silver, the radio. They use a chrome coating on some interior pieces too. The interior emblems that I painted on the horn pad and console were this "silver" oil based Sharpie I found a hobby shop. Thank you @psdenno for the proper direction you laid on me.

I like these chrome ink pens that I got from Amazon. I got a 1mm and 4mm. The ink lasts well, I’ve had them for a couple of years and they keep working every time I go to use them.
