I used duplicolor semi-gloss black rattle can engine enamel. doesnt need a primer or clear coat, and its strong. After sanding and degreasing the badges, I put about 3 light coats and one medium. Made it look real nice. Real easy too

 

[speed6_dude]

thats what i would do dont buy them save your money for something else! (thinkbeer

yeah its really easy and you can save yourself a bunch of money.

your going to want to rough up the surface a little bit with some sand paper so the paint will stick better. after so spray, let it dry, possibly add another coat, let dry and then clear.

Soak badges in bleach for about 2 hrs, light sanding to scuff, then paint. Should turn out fine.

What do you use to re-attach them? Some kind of tape? Or an adhesive?

I didn't do it personally, but I know someone who did it on their MS3 and they came out great. I'll ask him what he used to reattach them.

you can purchase badge adhesive from any auto parts store

 

[speed6r]

how do you get them off?

[wannabe]

heat gun/blow dryer. warm them up and use some floss or fishing line to get between the badge and the car, they should pull right off.
