I've had good luck with the brush-on contact cement.

All the HMMWV dataplates I have installed came with sticky back adhesive on them from the factory.

A lot of CARC is rough enough to be like sticking stickers on sand paper. Contact adhesive like Chris says will ensure that you're not just adhering to the high spots. Gorilla Glue or 3M"s "77" are good choices. Follow the instructions.

Black, 3M 5200, slow cure, marine polyurethane adhesive. A polyurethane like CARC so it's compatible, over or under CARC.

Another option is one of the 3M emblem mounting tapes. These double-sided tapes have a thin foam core so they can conform to less-than-perfect surfaces. Check with a auto parts supplier that also sells body shop supplies, and they can point you in the right direction. For mine, I wiped the surface with prep-sol, and applied the label. Wait overnight, and the label will be there forever.
