    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Try sanding it lightly and then cleaning it. I would do a test run first incase it doesn't work.

    don't use thinner. just something that won't hurt the plastic but will rid the emblem of dirt and grease.

    i wouldnt use acetone, depending on the type of plastic used, it could eat through it. Im not sure if it would or not, but not worth the risk unless someone else has done it before

    If you don't have that then any household spray cleaner (like windex) should work the get the grease off. Once you clean it, do not touch the surface you want to paint with your bare hands.

    go get some Goo-Be-Gone or Goop at the local home depot or home improv store.. Rub some on there to get the grease off, then go ahead and clean it and scrub it good.

    You should be fine aftertaht.
