Your friend overheated the paint and melted the plastic (the emblems are sitting on plastic bumper and trim piece)
The place you are heating is metal; so it will withstand the heat better.  Just be careful of melting the fin... and perhaps the antenna base underneath it... (don't recall if the base was metal or plastic) Good luck!
