Obtaining badges

[C8PPO]

I'm thinking of spraying my rear "Monaro" badge black, to give it the stealth effect against the black car, but I'm just concerned that if I don't like it and want to restore it to chromey, will I be able to get a replacement easily enough?

the problem with that seller is they wont sell holden parts to people outside australia

[Tempy]

Dammit, you're right. My mistake, sorry.

[C8PPO]

Would have done just fine if they'd sell it to me! What's that all about?

Will have to keep looking.

we need to get one of our australian members to forward them on to us as i was after a couple of badges from that seller aswell

I got some HSV sill badges from them last oct, no problem just email them for postage cost.

I don't mind helping obtain hard to get stuff within reason......ie bonnets, wheels do not apply!
That particular seller is a Holden dealer or I am pretty sure it is. Reading their ad, it looks like they don't mind sending stuff overseas?
Those badges are from the CV8R which was a limited edition model. The Lions are also available in that colour.

Sorry if I've missed something but why don't you remove the paint if you don't like it?

alloys needing a refurb there - you been letting the mrs drive

[raggyman]

That would be a certain bloke who we are bannishing to the far courner of the globe... (lucky bastard)..

[C8PPO]

Hmm, that looks good!

@Boosted - If I painted the badge myself and changed my mind, I didn't/don't expect that paint would come off the chrome badge and leave the chrome intact....?

Paint should come off with some thinners. Only issue is you probably should rub the badge down with some fine grit paper first to ensure the paint sticks if you want it to last.
Although flaking paint is probably very fitting with these cars

I do also have some HSV decals, in something close to this design , which another forum member gave me when I bought something else. I would have put these just in front of the rear wheels, low down, if they had been black, but they're a gunmetal/silver colour. If anyone's got any black equivalents and wants a swap......

This bloke seems very good to buy from, quoted me reasonable shipping from Aus to the UK. Only just bought from him, so I can't yet comment about the quality of the product, but here's hoping...

I don't think you need worry. I've used them on a couple of occasions and they've been very good.
